2. School closures and learning loss during the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic can have long-term consequences for
the current generation of students. Global evidence from
previous health and disaster-related emergencies shows that
the impact lasts far beyond the global crisis or pandemic
period. It is also likely to have an impact on children's future
economic potential and productivity, undermining the
country's competitiveness. This policy note examines key
issues concerning the current schooling and learning
environment and proposes policy options to prepare for in-
person schooling when possible.

3. Two nationwide surveys in the Philippines provide a
snapshot of the country's educational conditions thus a
learning recovery plan was developed. Why is this so, when
the coronavirus pandemic struck the country, the Department
of Education ordered the suspension of all face-to-face classes
in all schools, altering the learning landscape and leading to
the adoption of remote learning, dubbed Distance Learning
Delivery Mode (DLDM), for two school years (SY 2020-2021 &
2021-2022). This was rolled out to all types of students
without first determining whether they were ready to
embrace DLDM.

4. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted education systems
and disproportionately impacted the most vulnerable
students, exacerbating pre-existing disparities with
potentially disastrous and long-term consequences. This calls
for immediate action to close learning gaps and ensure that
all students have a smooth and continuous educational
journey. This also necessitates a longer-term system that will
need to improve learner resilience by creating conditions that
are conducive to learning.
