                                                by: Farah G. Villeza

    COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt the sanity of students, however teachers and other school stakeholders try so hard to bridge the gap between distance education and service.

    The nation has been in pandemic mode for a year and a half yet the virus continue to spread at a slow burn. As of May the sudden escalate of COVID cases in Capiz brought an intermittent lockdowns for the different municipalities of the province. The different sectors have been affected including education.

    Capiz State University, Burias Campus have discouraged their students to enter the campus for almost a month to secure the safety of the students, teachers and staff. As teachers and students embark on this challenging journey, retaining a sense of normality in education is very crucial. To ensure that the students learning remains uninterrupted despite of various circumstances brought by the pandemic, the school decided to establish an alternative plan regarding on module retrieval and distribution. Instead of doing a module retrieval and distribution in the campus, the school opted to deliver the modules of students to their municipality. Teachers remain true to their commitment. They never hesitate to face the unseen enemy and risk their life just to bring the modules to almost 10 municipalities.

    Module Retrieval and Distribution happened for 4 days. They started to distribute on June 8, 2021 in the Municipality of Sigma, Dao and Quartero; June 9 in Jamindan; June 10 in Ivisan, Altavas, and Sapian; and June 11 in Mambusao. The distribution in Municipality of Mambusao was done by cluster due to their strict

Baranggay Border Checkpoint and besides Mambusao has a large number of college students compared to other municipalities.

    The retrieval and module distribution were successfully done. The smile plastered on the teachers and medical team’s faces gives hope for everyone to never stop fighting this battle, as if it does not affect everything about the purpose and value of learning. Sadly, we are insensible for many changes the pandemicwould bring to education and learning yet Capiz State University Burias Campus works hard to adapt and establish a resilient educational system to present education with renewing wave forging a high quality education for the students.
