Education teaches us about our society and environment, as well as how to alter them for the better. Education also assists us in developing our own perspective on our lives, preparing us to have our own points of view and establish our own ideas on many aspects of life. Today's education is not only a means of acquiring knowledge. Nowadays, anyone with a computer and an internet connection may have access to vast amounts of data and information via various websites and e-commerce platforms. But, without education, can information be converted into knowledge?
Only education can teach us how to understand various situations and occurrences in our life. We may learn not just from textbooks, but also from our instructors, gurus, and mentors who teach us how to read those books and evaluate their claims, among other things.
Many discussions have raged about the resumption of courses in the face of the epidemic. Many are advocating for the education system to skip this school year so that no student falls behind, while many parents are still curious about how remote learning will function. We are all aware that many Filipino students struggle with distance learning. Buying a laptop, computer, tablet, or mobile phone, as well as acquiring an internet connection, are not easy tasks for all Filipino parents, no matter how much they want to. Many people lost their jobs because of this pandemic.
The fulfillment of the following fundamental requirements would allow for the development of a long-term alternative way of providing quality education.
i. Adequate public financial resources are dedicated for providing access to online educational facilities, particularly for pupils from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, in order to bridge the digital gap.
ii. The necessary arrangements are made for reliable internet infrastructure throughout the country for excellent online learning, as well as the availability of older broadcast mediums such as radio and television for curriculum delivery.
iii. Educational institutions, not only in major cities, but also in smaller towns, rural and distant locations, are outfitted with cutting-edge ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure to provide excellent online education.
iv. Teachers have received adequate training to provide online lessons utilizing various digital platforms.
vi. Appropriate techniques for measuring the quality of learners are created and made available to both students and teachers.
Filipinos in the Philippines are eager to study and expand their knowledge and abilities. They will not stop till they have achieved their aim. This is also the attitude that Filipino parents have for their children. They will go to any length to ensure that their children attend school and are the finest students they have ever had. Filipino parents confront several problems in parenting their children, yet they continue to overlook the importance of education in preparing their children for a brighter future. Education is still the number one concern of Filipinos; it is critical that every child learns in school and has knowledge about how to interact with others with appropriate behavior and morals. The Philippines' primary concern is to provide a good and high-quality education to all young Filipinos. That every child in the school will be treated equally in the classroom. To be able to fulfill their ambitions in the future, kids must learn and be knowledgeable as they get older. Filipino parents and teachers should collaborate to prepare their children spiritually, socially, physically, emotionally, and academically so that they can be responsible and learn how to be good citizens of the nation.

Even before this pandemic started, Phillippines is already not in it's best state. Life has become more difficult and nerve-wracking to deal with. I used to think a lot that this distance learning is not helping us students in any way, that they're just giving us tasks to complete so that we have something to do that's worthy of our time rather than spending our days lying in bed with our phones. But when I read your blog, this blog, I realized that our way of learning today is a better choice than not learning at all.
