National Parents' Teachers'
Association - Philippines, is urging the Department of Education
to reconsider its decision regarding the opening of classes this year.
They would rather see students stay at home in the meantime
until such time there is already a vaccine against COVID-19.
"Around 99 percent ayaw na mag-open ng class this August 24 kasi nga takot. No vaccine, no classes. ani Rodriguez.

“Definitely I will not gamble the
lives of my 7 children including myself, sending them physically to school,”
ayon naman kay Ike Vega, President ng NPTA- Philippines Olongapo Zambales
chapter.
Last week DepEd allowed a “blended” or
distant" learning methods for the next school year.
Doubts have been lingering in parent
minds regarding the resumption of classes, which might cause the spike of
coronavirus infections among the students.
"Di lahat ng mga magulang capable
na magturo. There are parents na 'di makapagbasa,” ani Michael Malana, President
of NPTA in Metro Manila.
Others are opting for tutorials rather
than formal school just for this school year.
"Nag-usap kami na di kami mag-e-enroll
sa mga school… Ang gagawin ko ay bibili ng mga books at magpapa-tutor, wala
namang problem," Jennifer Rosario said, a member of the NPTA.
Alliance of Concerned Teachers, raised the issue that classes cannot
resume if atleast a mass testing is conducted to ensure everyone’s safety
against the coronavirus.
"Kung may isang bata, isang
teacher, isang kawani na nagkasakit sa COVID-19 dahil sa ganito, duguan ang
kamay ng DepEd," ani Raymond Basilio, ACT Secretary General.
