With the changes happening in the country’s education system brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Education (DepEd) underscored the need to help and assist parents in understanding various learning modalities.
“The role of our parents is something we really can’t just ignore because we only implement distance learning,” said Undersecretary for Legislative Affairs, External Partnerships, and Project Management Service Tonisito Umali in Filipino.
Umali noted that children who currently home study using various learning modalities need help especially from their parents since the teachers cannot help them physically.
To help parents adjust to the new normal in education, DepEd tapped the International Care Ministries (ICM) to assist parents of learners especially in Kindergarten on better understanding the modules provided by the schools.

A new report says global warming, rising sea levels and other effects of climate change will bring billions of dollars in short-term costs to North Carolina s economy and public health in the years ahead.
The report for the Environmental Defense Fund tallies potential costs of climate change over the next 20 to 30 years in eight areas, including real estate, health and safety, tourism and various industrial sectors.
George Van Houtven of research firm RTI International in Raleigh, who wrote the report, said climate change s effects are already being felt across the state. The evidence shows that these impacts are likely to grow and even accelerate in the next 20 years, especially if the state doesn t act in different ways, in particular, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also by doing things to prepare, adapt and protect against these growing hazards of climate change, Van Houtven said.
