Drop in online learning attendance ‘not a big concern’ – DepEd official
The Department of Education (DepEd) stated that a decline in student participation in online learning should not be a cause for alarm, as alternative distance learning modalities are available.
DepEd Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio mentioned that the agency is verifying reports of decreasing student engagement in both modular and online learning and expects to receive comprehensive reports by January.
San Antonio emphasized that if internet connectivity is an issue for students, they can switch to modular learning, which does not require synchronous online classes.
He assured that the availability of other distance learning options ensures that all learners continue to have access to educational resources.
A teachers' group, the Teachers' Dignity Coalition, had previously observed that approximately half of students attend online classes, and not all students complete their modular assignments.
