Cotabato City, June 15, 2020. Minister Iqbal has recently launched the Oplan Balik Eskwela in response to COVID-19 pandemic and opening of classes on August 24, 2020.
In the Ministry’s first virtual meeting, the government’s plans for safe child learning were outlined to education officials and schools across the region.
Key to implementation of the plan is a new multi-platform communication system provided by Australian Embassy Manila in partnership with Department of Education.
Two-way radio networks are being established in remote Barangays and islands, school networks and community volunteers mobilized to cascade and gather information. The Ministry’s radio station will also be restored to broadcast public announcements and education programs.
The system includes a range of online and offline communication platforms, including an SMS gateway for information exchange with mobile phones.
