The Quest for Quality Education
The world is adjusting to a new reality
that was unimaginable a few months ago. Our lives cannot go back to the normal that
we were used to; we have to constantly cope and adapt with new ways of living
for as long as this pandemic persists. This, couple with continued disruptions
and other matters.
One of the most devastating challenges that
the COVID-19 pandemic has brought upon the world is the disruption on education
system that affects billions of learners, thus, leaving the future of school
uncertain. This pandemic is the root cause as to why the educational sector
persists to struggle in this grave disposition.
Correspondingly, political leaders around
the world implement school closures to contain further spread of the
Coronavirus. In like manner, the normal face-to-face classes, which is the most
effective and accessible mode for the majority, is no longer available for the
public in order to assure the safety of students and teachers.
To ensure education continuity, the
government has stimulated innovation within the education sector. These
innovative approaches include radio and television broadcasts, take-home
packages and online learning. But despite the many options to make education
more accessible and inclusive during the so-called new normal, there are still
many learners, especially from lower-socioeconomic strata and remote areas,
that has decided to not return to school and are deprived of the quality education
they deserve mainly due to lack of resources and access to such learning
modalities.
The government must exert all efforts into
accommodating unenrolled students into the system to ensure that no student is
left behind. This means making the learning programs accessible to all
including students from lower-socioeconomic strata and remote areas. It is the
obligation of the government to prioritize education in budget allocation to
fulfill, promote and protect the right to continue learning amid the pandemic.
Quality education is imperative in today’s society as it is the foundation of the nation’s future. It is an absolute right of the people, thus, no student should be left behind in these trying times.
