BCT blended learning is here to stay: Dr. Paniamogan
By Jay Ar Omblero and Lorene Jasmine Mercado
Brokenshire College Toril School Director, Dr. Cherrie N. Paniamogan, confirmed that BCT will continue implementing its existing blended learning modality in all departments starting next week in an exclusive interview with The Spark held yesterday.
In pursuing this decision, a parent’s consultation was conducted, said Dr. Paniamogan, in consideration of the financial and health aspects of the students and their households.
The school director also agreed with the notion that it will be better for students so they will not be forced to adapt to another change once again this school year.
“‘Yan din yung kino-consider namin kasi para bang nag-adjust kayo from the pandemic time and we really understand na ang hirap nung dati na adjustment, next year adjustment na naman, and this year adjustment na naman…”
This blended learning modality, which has been put in place by the school since August 1, is characterized by a combination of 3 days of in-person classes and 2 days of distance learning.
For the rest of the school year, Preschool, Elementary, and Junior High School (JHS) students’ weekly class schedule will still be laid out as follows:
Monday to Wednesday — In-Person or Face-to-face Classes
Thursday to Friday — Asynchronous Distance Learning
Meanwhile, the Senior High School (SHS) Department will proceed with the current Set A and B division arrangement and its weekly alternate classes and class schedules as stated below:
