The country’s schools have been closed since the start of
the pandemic. As schools prepare to reopen soon, the country’s education system
is facing a major challenge on how to manage the transition and reopen safely
amid risk brought about by the continuing pandemic.
The Rotary Club of Greenfield District on its kick-off
activity brings top education leaders in a virtual discussion to share their
experiences and learnings of managing their schools at the height of the
pandemic and their plans on how to navigate from the online education back to a
“new normal” 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 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, PhD, Vice-President
of Public Affairs of the University of the Philippines, Prof. Cheryl R.
Peralta, DRPH, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of the University of Santo
Tomas, Dr. Winston Conrad Padojinog, President of University of Asia and the
Pacific, 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.
