 CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR EXPANDED FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES
SY 2022-2023

I. BACKGROUND

Implementation of SY 2020-2021 Classes and Its Challenges

Different challenges were encountered during the school year 2020-2021. The abrupt change of the
old normal to the new normal caused so much pain not only among the people in the educational system but
to all agencies of the government.

The DepEd Officials headed by the Secretary of Education, Hon. Leonor Briones have cried out the
continuation of education among the learners despite the pandemic. It was a fight of principles and concern
for the learners. Different guidelines were released to the field for everyone in the system to be guided.
Different learning modalities were introduced with series of trainings conducted in the field for the teachers
& School Heads to be guided on what to do. Educators started to create MELCS as early as April, 2020.
There were consultations and surveys conducted to know the needs of each division according to their
situations.

Asian Power School of English adopted the Blended Learning: Online and Offline Mode System as
the Learning Delivery Modality for SY 2020-2021 in partnership with CITE. To properly utilize CITE's
Learning Management System, a subscription was necessary. Access to the internet by both teachers and
learners was also needed for the LMS to operate. Both the budget and time of the school were exhausted in
acquiring and learning this system to operate, but nevertheless it helped the school go through the most
crucial transition from the old normal to the new normal during the start of the pandemic.

Implementation of SY 2021-2022 Classes and Its Challenges

The opening of classes in August 2021 was still full of doubts & uncertainties. Using the Blended
Learning as the LDM with the parents serving as teachers during the offline moods created distrust if
learning would take place. Different moods of online communication were created and used by the teachers
to reach the learners and to follow up on lessons and activities given in the SLMs.

As the school year continued, the school transitioned to Google Classroom as the LMS since the system
provided by CITE was quite difficult for students and parents/guardians to use. Thus, Google Classroom

3
became the main LMS that was used by the teachers to conduct online classes among their learners and for
assigning and submitting activities. Facebook messenger also played an important role since it is more
accessible for both teachers and students in terms of real-time notifications and was also an alternative for
students who experience difficulties in accessing the Google Classroom for submitting their activities.

With the existing limitations of the learning delivery modalities, the DepEd in the SDO of Tarlac
remains steadfast in the delivery of quality education to all learners. This contingency plan presents the
proper moves and actions of the Asian Power School of English, Inc. as it delivers quality education given
the different challenges brought by the pandemic.

II. OBJECTIVES

This Contingency Plan aims to:

1. align with the Harmonized National Contingency Plan for the COVID 19 of the National Disaster

Division Office for purposes of education continuity;
4. provide guidance for the continuing capacity building of school personnel;
5. determine the preparedness, and prevention and mitigation measures to reduce the impacts of the
COVID 19; and
6. support the identification of needed supplies and course of actions to reduce the impact of COVID
19 virus, like personal protective equipment and vaccination against the virus.
