Before the end of the 2019-2020 school year the challenges of the COVID-19 virus coming to the country that are changing the lives of all people across the universe are already faced. This pandemic has come upon humanity with the challenge of so many different changes in every life. One of these is the abrupt graduation or classes of learners through the use of modern methods. Everyone feels scared and worried in the coming school year how to start not getting sick with COVID-19.
The Department of Education has worked hard and studied all the possibilities that can be made to continue the education of young people and be safe with COVID-19. For the 2020-2021 school year, the opening of classes has been delayed. This is to ensure that with new changes in new teaching methods, teachers are prepared and oriented to ways of adapting the new normal teaching modalities to be implemented.
For batch 2020, to all learners, teachers and parents, congratulations! Despite all the possibilities to challenge life to survive the big changes. No one has to give up to prove that in any pandemic, we are strong and we can survive. It simply implies that the Lord is just there and will not forsake us.
This pandemic, helps mankind strengthen their faith and belief in God. According to Germany Kent, “God will fight your battles if you just keep still. He is able to carry you through. Trust Him. Keep standing, keep believing and keep hoping.” ###
