The Commission on Higher Education should also reconsider its announcement regarding the implementation of limited face-to-face classes.An opposition lawmaker has voiced concern over reports that a number of teachers have experienced symptoms or have family members currently experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
The survey also asked the respondents if they are still working despite having symptoms, 84.7 percent answered yes. And when asked if they received any support or aid from their divisions or schools, 76.2 percent answered that they did not receive any aid or support. “Teachers, especially in areas under alert level 3 are calling for a health break from the Department of Education so that they can focus on their health and the health of their families as we experience the worst surge of COVID-19. With this demand, teachers are also cautioning the DepEd not to give them webinars to attend during this health break so that they can really focus on taking care of themselves and their families,” Castro added.
