The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability. Countries have committed to prioritize progress for those who're furthest behind. The SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.

The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.

It helps build the foundation of not just an equality, but equity in the our society, which is very valuable to creating more peaceful world. Moreover, quality education enables people to develop all a balanced set of capabilities of children that are aimed to be the fruit of economic productivity, developed sustainable intelligences and livelihoods in the near future.

“A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labour exploitation and disease, and give them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential,” said Audrey Hepburn, an American actress.

And, it disrupted education at unprecedented scale as most governments have closed down schools wherein there are 28,451,212 students who are affected by the pandemic.

Officials in the Philippines confirmed in early June 2020 that schools would not reopen until a vaccine against COVID-19 became available. This decision leaves approximately 27 million children to continue their education via the internet. 

Thereafter, the quarantine became worse as it was extended on the current academic year, 2021-2022, which means a rough continuation of the distance learning in the country, considering the fact that the Philippines has become one of the top countries with worst number of covid cases accross the world.

Nonetheless, aid organizations are mobilizing in response to the decision that the government of the Philippines made to not reopen schools. These organizations hope to bridge the potential gap in quality and access to quality education in the Philippines during the pandemic.]]> 2021-09-23 08:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jgccascato/vnvjdcwifllcm1a2/wish/1762424819 Globally; jgccascato https://padlet.com/jgccascato/vnvjdcwifllcm1a2/wish/1762461756 According to the Global Campaign for Education (GCE), globally, over 200,000 cases of the coronavirus have been reported in more than 160 countries, which have resulted in more than 8,000 deaths and left several States dealing with severe outbreaks. The COVID-19 pandemic will adversely impact the progress some governments were making around increasing the education budget.

We are facing an education crisis. For nearly 77 million children, the pandemic has taken away their classrooms for the past 18 months. Schoolchildren worldwide have lost 1.8 trillion hours and counting of in-person learning due to COVID-19 lockdowns. Yet in too many countries classrooms remain closed while social gatherings continue to take place in restaurants, salons and gyms. This generation of children and youth cannot afford any more disruptions to their education. | unicef.org

Moreover, based from the survey conducted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), over 800 million learners from around the world have been affected, 1 in 5 learners cannot attend school, 1 in 4 cannot attend higher education classes, and over 102 countries have ordered nationwide school closures while 11 have implemented localised school closure.

As quick response, educational institutions and organizations around the country are harnessing the different types of technology and modalities to continue learning, teaching and services during the pandemic.

DEPED has formulated different learning modalities that take into consideration the access and availability of technology and connection for learning. It employs distance learning designed to continue education even if the teachers and students are physically remote with each other through the use of online/offline technologies, tv and radio, and printed modules. Also, blended learning is the combination of any of these modalities while home schooling is primarily done at home with a caregiver as teacher.]]> 2021-09-23 12:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jgccascato/vnvjdcwifllcm1a2/wish/1762834737 1.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres

In an effort to foster international collaboration and ensure that education never stops, UNESCO is mounting a response with a set of initiatives that include the global monitoring of national and localized school closures.

UNESCO in March 2020 launched the COVID-19 Global Education Coalition, a multi-sector partnership between the UN family, civil society organizations, media and IT partners to design and deploy innovative solutions. Together they help countries tackle content and connectivity gaps, and facilitate inclusive learning opportunities for children and youth during this period of sudden and unprecedented educational disruption.

UNICEF also scaled up its work in 145 low- and middle-income countries to support governments and education partners in developing plans for a rapid, system-wide response including alternative learning programmes and mental health support.

First, we must admit that face-to-face interactions between teachers and students along with vibrant and healthy debates amongst peers within the classroom and outside are integral to quality teaching, as envisioned by the SDGs. Online education may complement this method of learning but cannot substitute it. Social and emotional learning — like empathy, attention, collaboration and negotiation, critical and creative thinking, growing awareness of multiple perspectives and developing respect for others who are different — are difficult to inculcate among students without face-to-face classroom teaching.

As ordinary citizens, we must keep an eye not just on the social issue itself and what it gave us, but to also dig deeper on the hardships experienced on the ground - a mental, emotional, and physical battlefield. In this, we must bear in mind the felt fear and emotional sacrifices of the learners, parents, and educators, as well as take into consideration the policies and orders raised by our national and local governments to secure our safety.

No matter how tiring it is for students to finish modules, for parents to guide their children in the distance learning, for the teachers and all the education sectors to process the situation, we must remember to put everyone's sake on our decisions and choices. We were challenged by the disaster together, and still, we will overcome this, together.

And, let us hope for a better quality of education for the present generation despite the health crisis. With our goal, quality education, let us strive harder to reach the authority about the concern of delivering a better quality we need for education.

These may sound familiar and cliché, but let us always follow the health protocols such as wearing face masks, avoiding physical contacts and crowded areas, maintaining social distancing, and sanitising from time to time.

I believe, our participation with stopping the spread of the virus is directly beneficial to our education system. This implies, the reopening of face to face classes as long as everyone stands against the problem.

Moreover, let us engage ourself with participation to our government, as well as how we view it, the government also is having a hard time that is why we need to unite as one nation in this run.

Additionally, let us continue to reach and help vulnerable people especially those students who are needing help. Patiently, we must keep the values of lending a helping hand to those who suffer.

Lastly, pray. We should remain hopeful for the greater and better things built and prepared ahead us. With out prayers and faith, believe that all this too shall pass
