SCHOOL I.D. 401974 Learning Recovery: Our Priority, Our Responsibility Learning Recovery Plan 2022 2023 2024 Restructured and Responsive Inclusive and Innovative Solution-Oriented and Synergetic Enabling and Effective Saint Paul College of Technology Camiling, Tarlac, Inc.ǀ Rizal St. Poblacion G Camiling, Tarlacǀ spctcamiling@gmail.com Background and Context Saint Paul College of Technology Camiling, Tarlac, Inc.ǀ Rizal St. Poblacion G Camiling, Tarlacǀ spctcamiling@gmail.com Background and Context The COVID-19 crisis has not only disrupted people's normal lives but forced educational systems across the world to find alternatives to the traditional face-to-face instruction. As the COVID-19 pandemic poses health risks, the abrupt shift to remote teaching and increased care-taking responsibilities at home have created a stressful and demanding environment not only for teachers' but also for parents' work. During the pandemic, major concerns arose about the well-being of teachers and the educational system as a whole, as well as their ability to successfully deliver instruction from a distance. The pandemic appeared to have most vulnerably defined educational opportunities. Students from privileged backgrounds who are supported by their parents and who are eager and capable of learning may be able to find their way past closed school doors to alternative learning opportunities. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds were frequently reliant on the modules provided by public schools. Since its outbreak over two years ago, COVID-19 continues to cause panic around the globe because it is life threatening and can even cause long-term effects on the health of people who contracted the virus. But in April 2022, the World Health Organization reported that the number of new COVID cases and fatalities worldwide have continued to decline since the end of March with more than 5 million infections and 18, 000 reported deaths in the last week. Source: WHO, April 2022 Saint Paul College of Technology Camiling, Tarlac, Inc.ǀ Rizal St. Poblacion G Camiling, Tarlacǀ spctcamiling@gmail.com As of 17 April 2022, over 500 million confirmed cases and over 6 million deaths have been reported globally, a24% and 12% decrease respectively, as compared to the previous week. Figure 1. Daily reported COVID-19 cases in the Philippines (30 January2020 –10 April 2022) Source: WHO, April 2022 The Philippines has a total of 3,681,374 COVID-19 cases and 59,769 (1.6%) COVID-19 related deaths had been recorded since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (data as of April 10, 2022). There was a sudden and sharp increase in cases in late December 2021, but after peaking in early January, a decreasing trend has been continuing in the number of cases reported per day (Figure 1). There were 1,905 new cases (1.7 cases per 100,000 population) reported in week 14 (4-10 April 2022), that is 29% lower than the previousweek (28 March – 3 April 2022: 2,670 new cases, 2.4 cases per 100,000 population3). For week 14, NCR, Region IV-A: Saint Paul College of Technology Camiling, Tarlac, Inc.ǀ Rizal St. Poblacion G Camiling, Tarlacǀ spctcamiling@gmail.com CALABARZON, and Region III: Central Luzon recorded the highest case counts at 678, 268, and 199 respectively (WHO, April 2022). Central Luzon has reported total cases of approximately 361, 603 cases as of April 20, 2022 with 1, 432active cases, 353, 515 recovered and 6, 618 deaths (DOH, 2022). The Province of Bulacan has the most number of cases with 136, 370 followed by Pampanga with 68, 974, Bataan with 41, 587, Nueva Ecija with 41,130, and Tarlac with 28, 918 (DOH, April 2022). Source: WHO, April 2022 Due to the declining number of cases in COVID-19, the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on February 27, 2022 recommended that National Capital Region (NCR) and 33 areas including Tarlac be placed under alert level 1 starting March 1, 2022 (Inquirer, February 2022). Saint Paul College of Technology Camiling, Tarlac, Inc.ǀ Rizal St. Poblacion G Camiling, Tarlacǀ spctcamiling@gmail.com As the country continue to grapple with the covid-19 virus, the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) placed 88 areas including Tarlac under alert level 1. According to OCTA Research, COVID-19 reproduction in Metro Manila from April 21 to April 27 slightly increased to 071 from 0.62 from the previous week. The Department of Health reported the country’s first case of the dreaded Omicron BA.2.12, a sub variant of the highly transmissible Omicron variant which causes high surge in the US (DOH, April 2022).

Almost 100 percent of children in Asia were out of school during March, April and May 2020. Full school closures lasted for different durations, ranging from approximately one month in Japan, Singapore, Thailand and TimorLeste to over a year in Bangladesh and the Philippines. Children in many parts of the region were deprived of face-to-face learning for a significant period of time as a result of the pandemic. The suspension of face-to-face instruction, in which children with disabilities are most reliant, compelled these types of learners to accept the distance learning despite of limited infrastructure and no access to internet (UN, 2020). With the approval of President Rodrigo Duterte, the Department of Education ordered the implementation of a Distance Learning set-up in SY 2020-2021, in accordance with the Basic Education- Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP). Saint Paul College of Technology Camiling, Tarlac Inc. accepted 293 students on August 24, 2020, several months later following the countrywide lockdown. To prepare for the “new normal” way of learning, surveys such as readiness assessments were completed months before the school opened. Since modular learning is the preferred learning modality in schools, the printing of self-learning modules (SLMs) and learning activity sheets (LAS) has been a top priority for our school. Modular learning via printed and digital modules is the most popular method of distance learning in Camiling among parents with learners enrolled during the pandemic. This includes learners in remote areas where internet signal is not available for online learning. According to the results of the enrollment survey completed by parents/guardians in the Learner Enrollment and Survey Form (LESF) for SY 2020-2021, the majority of parents/guardians of both Senior High School and Junior High School learners preferred modular learning as a distance learning modality for their sons/daughters. Some of them opted to have digital copies of the modules since they have their smartphones, which is the most readily available device at home for learning.

As defined in the April, 2020 survey, recovery is the capacity of a school to return to a functional level of operation in all aspects of school life. There are two interventions in recovery that this template addresses. These are instructional recovery and financial recovery. Instructional recovery refers to the effort schools will need to exert to make-up for time lost by teachers in covering end-of-year curriculum competencies or in ensuring student mastery. With regards to financial recovery, this pertains to the ability of schools to do business continuity and generate the revenues that it needs to optimally operate after incurring delays or losses in tuition and fees collection and payments from other income sources. In terms of readiness, readiness is conceptualized as the school’s capacity in the new school year to effectively respond to new operational challenges and concerns emerging from or demanded by the current pandemic health crisis and post-ECQ conditions. This Plan template looks at six interventions of readiness that schools can consider. These are inst0ructional, faculty, administrative, financial, academic support and physical plant readiness. Instructional readiness involves coverage of required student competencies and delivery of teaching and learning experiences in different modalities. Faculty readiness looks at the skills and dispositions teachers possess in designing and delivering learning plans in various modalities. Administrative readiness focuses on the school’s ability to prepare and implement a plan in response to crisis (e.g., pandemic) demands, challenges and disruptions. Financial readiness covers the availability of funds and other resources to support new school operations brought about by the pandemic. Academic support readiness is specifically characterized in terms of ensuring mental health and well-being so that student learning and faculty instruction is secure and productive. Physical plant readiness examines the school’s capacity to do the necessary changes in facilities and adopt protocols and measures in response to physical distancing and the threat of outbreaks. As shown in the following diagram, these interventions for recovery and readiness comprise the framework for the development of this Plan: Saint Paul College of Technology Camiling, Tarlac, Inc.ǀ Rizal St. Poblacion G Camiling, Tarlacǀ spctcamiling@gmail.com Saint Paul College of Technology Camiling, Tarlac, Inc.ǀ Rizal St. Poblacion G Camiling, Tarlacǀ spctcamiling@gmail.com The template’s different interventions for recovery and readiness are established in relation to the various areas of the PEAC Certification process and derived from Areas of Concern which are new challenges due to Covid 19 and widespread quarantine orders. These interventions support the school’s performance of the Standards of Compliance in the PEAC Certification Instrument. The following table shows the relationship of the PEAC Area of Certification with the survey’s area of concern and this Plan’s various interventions for recovery and readiness.
