Glitches, tech difficulties mar DepEd’s nat’l school readiness program launch
The Department of Education (DepEd) postponed the virtual launch of its school readiness program, titled "Handang Isip, Handa Bukas National Kick-off Program", on Monday, August 10, due to technical difficulties.
The program, which aims to showcase the readiness of schools for blended learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic, was originally scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m.
Technical issues such as problems with audio, communications, and power interruptions marred the initial launch attempt.
The event host was heard apologizing for the disruption, stating, "Pagpasensyahan niyo na po, bigla po tayong nawala sa ere sapagkat nagkaroon lamang po ng technical problem."
Due to the glitch, DepEd decided to proceed with its press conference, which was originally set for noon, around 10 a.m.
The virtual launch, led by the Region 12 Office, eventually began around 11 a.m., proceeding with dry-runs.
This event occurred two weeks before the August 24 start of School Year 2020-2021.
