Good afternoon! Welcome to our Students’ and Parents’ Orientation. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the parents and guardians for responding to our invitation.
A few months ago, we were caught off guard when the Coronavirus infiltrated the nation which likewise spread to all parts of the world threatening and claiming a huge number of lives and leaving a very contaminated environment.
This came about to a significant change in the education sector.
Following
quite a while of uncertainty on the kickoff of classes, we are at last here,
beginning the first semester of the AY 2020-2021.
The pandemic that stirs the entire world forces schools to move education on the
web and adopt a new world of virtual lectures as the schools shut down from
holding face-to-face classes. We are doing these to guarantee the safety
and well-being of each individual on campus.
In any case, E-learning represents a challenge to both teachers and students over
technology and internet connectivity, yet embracing E-Learning is the primary way that makes the educational institutions proceed amid these hard times. It is very hard, however, everybody needs to tune in
and embrace a growth mindset.
What
we have experienced since the early part of the year are exceptional times, and
we need exceptional actions to embrace what we call “NEW NORMAL
in EDUCATION”.
With
that, I am happy to welcome you all to this virtual gathering.
