Dignos clarified that they already printed learning modules for the first two weeks of classes.
In fact, at the Lapu-Lapu City Central School in barangay Looc, teachers were already busy distributing the learning modules to parents.
Julie Amarille, a grade 2 teacher, said that they are already distributing learning modules for the second week of classes.
Meanwhile, some parents admitted they still would prefer face-to-face learning if not for the threat of the COVID-19.
Leo Canino, a parent, said he is not in favor of the modular type of learning.
“Para nako lisod gyud. Kay pareha ani, kami nangita, dili mi ka-assist sa among anak,” Canino explained.
