“From now on, Flexible Learning will be the norm. There is no going back to the traditional, full-packed face-to-face classrooms,” CHED Chairman J. Prospero De Vera III said during a webinar entitled “Educating our Children in the New Normal” on Friday, May 21.
During the webinar organized by the Center for Strategy, Enterprise, and Intelligence, De Vera explained that CHED has adopted a policy that Flexible Learning will “continue in school year 2021 and thereafter” and cited several reasons for such a move.
“If we go back to the traditional face-to-face classroom, we run the risk of exposing our stakeholders to the same risks if another pandemic comes in,” he explained.

AS a director of the University of the South Pacific’s Centre of Flexible Learning, Dr Rajni Chand believes working hard is the key to achieving success in life.
Dr Chand hails from Labasa and has been with USP for more than 25 years as a student, teacher, researcher, and course co-ordinator.
“I was born in Labasa, where my father was a shop owner, and I completed my secondary education at Labasa College,” she said.
Feb 19, 2021 02:33:09 PM FemLink says the accusations by the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama on the appointment of Dr Rajni Chand embed the persistent injustices that women face in the workplace. Dr Chand who is the Director of the Centre for Flexible Learning at the University of the South Pacific is the wife of National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad. Bainimarama had called for her to resign from her post as she did not earn it as Prof Prasad had use his connection for her to get the promotion. FemLink executive director Susan Grey said the accusations by the Prime Minister on her appointment was meritorious, improper and outrageous.
