Abstract:
This qualitative case study aimed to derive research-based inputs for a policy review in enhancing the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) in public schools. Select stakeholders from two large schools in a City Division in Pampanga that were regionally recognized for having a meritorious partnership with internal and external communities were virtually interviewed on their experiences about the BE-LCP implementation. Thematic analysis of the data led to the emergence of seven themes regarding challenges and problems met: policies on crossroads, technological discrepancies, limitations triggered by health constraints, dynamics of education, training inadequacy for facilitators of learning, barriers to building stakeholders' partnership, and imbalanced between curriculum and instruction. Meanwhile, from the described strategies and best practices of the schools, seven themes were also formed: flexibility and adaptability of DepEd authorities, schools address the deficiencies in digital resources, advocating a safe and healthy safe environment, consideration of individual learning needs, provision of limited transition programs to teachers, stakeholders' willingness to participate in the implementation of BE-LCP, and constant monitoring and evaluation of the plan. Recommended ways offered to triumph on post-COVID-19 education include a thorough review of plans and decisions before its implementation and purveying robust e-learning infrastructure and sustaining financial resources to address the discrepancies in digital resources, among others.
