PARAÑAQUE CITY, (PIA) -- The Department of Education (DepEd)
has chosen Taguig as one of the pilot cities in Metro Manila to conduct
face-to-face classes once allowed in the National Capital Region.
As Taguig recently reached its 1 million COVID-19 jabs
administered, the DepEd expressed its confidence in the city's capacity for face-to-face
learning.
Taguig also continues to have the lowest fatality rate with
a 308 or 0.78 percent record against 1.90 percent of NCR as of Sept. 11, 2021.
When classes open this week, the local government will
utilize a combination of distance learning methods to deliver quality education
to its students depending on the students' and parents' preferences.
Public school students, in particular, are categorized into
two: Hybrid Modular Distance Learning students and Online learning students.
Ninety-five percent of the City's public school students are under the first
category. In comparison, the remaining 5 percent belong to the second category,
the pilot class for implementing the Dynamic E-Learning program.
Taguig City assembled a group of expert educators and module
writers from different foreign and international schools to create the best
quality modules for students under the Hybrid Modular Distance Learning.
Meanwhile, online learning students will be using the
all-new Taguig Learning Management System (LMS) that will serve as the online
portal for students' academic performance, evaluation results, and assignments.
Taguig is also training its educators to acquire new and
advanced multimedia and content creation skills through the City's version 2 of
the Taguig Online Resources and Community Hub (TORCH) Training for Teachers
program. The goal is to help teachers make their lessons efficient and
effective for students.
In support of the students in the opening of classes, Taguig
distributes New Normal Education Package for all Taguigeño students. The
package includes a bag, school uniform, P.E. uniform, raincoat, modules,
supplies, emergency bag, and emergency kit.
The local government continues its aggressive vaccination to
ensure that the City can safely and successfully transition to the new normal
such as students attending their face-to-face classes. (Taguig PIO/PIA-NCR)
