The country’s schools have been closed since 2020 when the pandemic starts. As schools prepare in reopening, the country’s education system is now facing a major challenge on how to manage these transitions and how to reopen safely amid risks brought about by the continuing pandemic.
The Rotary Club of Greenfield District on its kick-off activity brings top education leaders into a virtual dialogue to share their experiences and learnings on managing their schools at the height of the pandemic and their plans on how to navigate from online education back to a “new normal” set up now that the schools are reopening this August.
The Rotary Club of Greenfield District adapted AHEAD Education’s Leadership Strategies for School Managers (LESSM) as one of its core services and hosted the virtual discussion entitled “Educators in Action: Adapting to the new culture of education.”
The virtual discussion was led by Br. Bernard S. Oca, FSC, President of De La Salle University, Dr. Elena E. Pernia, Ph.D., Vice-President of Public Affairs of the University of the Philippines, Dr. Winston Conrad Padojinog, President of University of Asia and the Pacific, Prof. Cheryl R. Peralta, DrPH, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of the University of Santo Tomas, and Raphael A. Guerrero, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Science and Engineering of Ateneo de Manila University. The discussion was moderated by Ms. Rossana Llenado, President and Founder of AHEAD Education, and the Rotary Club of Greenfield District’s President.
“The entire education sector faced an unprecedented major crisis. With COVID-19 making it downright dangerous for students to go to school at the height of the pandemic now transitioning from online education back to face-to-face classes is both imminent and imperative,” said Rossana Llenado.
