(PTA) Louie Brian M. Lapat emphasized that modular blended learning is only an alternative way to cope up with the students’ way of learning, at Nabunturan National Comprehemsive High School (NNCHS) on Saturday, May 20.

Some district in Davao City experienced hot weather condition that resulted to schools’ implementation of the modular and blended modality, an alternative way of teaching the students amidst weather crisis.

“Our priority is the welfare of the students,” stated by Lapat. He added that there is already a Department of Education (DepEd) order that allows school heads to postpone classes for them to prevent further cases due to hot weather condition.

“All schools are compliant of the alternative way of learning to still reach the level of quality of learning education,” uttered by Lapat. He added that to spare the students from further circumstances, they tapped DepEd to take steps to find solution that will answer the unstoppable weather condition. However, this alternative way is only for the meantime as the PTA federation reached out to the DepEd to make solutions to the continues problem. “Band-aid Solution,” said Lapat. He added that one of the reason why students suffer more from the hot weather condition, is the lack of ventilation. Indeed, students are the most affected of the hot weather condition as it hinders them to their way of learning and it can cause dehydration, exhaustion or worst, skin cancer that will result to bad health condition.

Students of Davao City Region experienced headaches, exhaustion, -and dehydration due to extreme hot weather condition.
