Davao del Norte 1st district Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez urged the Department of Education to consider face-to-face interaction like the traditional way in areas with low risk of COVID-19.
Alvarez emphasized that while DepEd's proposal of distance learning can be very helpful, many Filipinos may struggle with it because they simply do not have the capabilities to purchase such gadgets needed for that approach.
“The online and broadcast materials proposed by DepEd may be helpful, but these are not easily available for many teachers, students, and families,” Alvarez said.
He said that traditional classes are still more effective and practical to areas with no cases of COVID-19.
“Areas with no cases of COVID-19 should consider regular classes. In the meantime, however, necessity requires us to consider context and be open to the fact that traditional classes may be the more effective and practical option for certain areas of our country,” he added.
