CBCP urges maximizing Internet use for education

The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) urges maximizing the use of the Internet for education during the COVID-19 crisis.

Bishop Roberto Mallari, chair of CBCP's Episcopal Commission on Catechesis and Catholic Education, emphasizes that online classes can facilitate learning but expresses concern over limited internet access in remote areas.

Mallari highlights the importance of personal interaction between teachers and students for character formation, suggesting that traditional methods are more effective in this aspect.
