Abstract:
The Corona Virus Pandemic creates a massive impact on the whole community, including education. So that several educational systems especially in the Philippines, guarantee that education will not be impeded during the health crisis throughout its region. Flexible learning, therefore, became a framework of the Philippine government to address the needs of students in education. According to Cassidy et. al (2016) Flexible learning is a pedagogical approach for the adaptability of time, place, and listeners including the utilization of technologies. Furthermore, it became the strategy of the state, to at least continue the educational term since the government implemented several days of lockdown to halt the spread of the virus. However, many students, private associations, and academic groups are calling for an academic freeze, they pointed out that most Filipino families have problems in terms of computer, internet, or gadget accessibility. On a news article provided by Sunstar last August 12, 2020, DepEd assumed that there will be an increasing number of out of school and perhaps would reach four million number of out of school youth for the year 2020 because of the Pandemic. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate the existing policy for flexible education, the teaching strategy of the public school teachers to ensure the learning outcomes of the students, the procedure of the department of education in preparing the educators and school administrators upon the implementation of the policy and lastly, is the impact of the policy to the Learners.
