The continuous widespread of the coronavirus pandemic has become a remarkable disaster worldwide. Educational organizations which include the primary, secondary and tertiary education institutions abandon the face-to-face instruction and transitioned fast to online learning in mid-spring semester 2020, with a little warning. Educators were braved to implement new strategies and quality assurance of education for which it suffices the student needs as to what extent that their online educational progress were attained and their personal safety were secured. One example of the pandemic’s substantial ambiguity and immediate crises is the shift to digital learning modality of education which have impacted the educational institutions, students, teaching and non-teaching personnel’s as well as individuals in positions of leadership.

A precise and decisive leadership are needed for time-critical decision making in times of crisis situations. The invisible virus has hit the world with no warnings or cautions that brought us with different variants in different times and waves during the covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, it is a problem and a concern that must be solved domestically and globally.

According to Warren Bennis, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality” so everything should have a goal. A goal to make all the situation to be ease especially into the current setting of educational system we have now, the importance of a precise and strong leadership in all type of learning can uplift and help the institution to achieve its goal to have a better education that can be accessible to everyone even though the presence of the global covid-19 pandemic is still there. Always look on the bright side of the pandemic to surpass the education gap and to look for opportunities to sustain and improve the promotion of education. Cooperating and sharing leadership with higher education sectors for the implementation of flexible teaching learning and teaching options, approaches, strategies and systems to support continuous learning and to sustain students’ passion for excellence amidst this pandemic.

As the widespread of the virus continues, we know that the new normal we had to today implies the inevitability of change wherein one of the reason why the schooling of students were interrupted and it affects their future lives, and if we are to determine or formulate more inclusive, fair and ethical systems that can support equality education for every child and human being, we can be engaged and shared leadership towards sustaining excellence through our passion, commitment and dedication to help, to lead and to serve the way for huge change for the betterment, not only for our sake but also to influence good deeds and contribution to the community especially for the young ones.

 Working in a multifaceted profession is already tiring. What more if you play other roles such as mothers, daughters, son, or a business owner? Exhausting right? What understand a teacher, is also its co-educator. Hence, you might want to stop for a while, take your rest, while gaining tips as we give you advices in strategies of work-life time balancing. Happy Reading!

First thing first, remember that you are still human and not a robot. Prioritize your health before it’s too late. Giving your best shot in work does not require ignoring your overall health. You cannot do or achieve your goals if you are in poor health. To keep your mind and body healthy, get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, eat nutritious meals, and exercise. Stay away from unhealthy foods. Manage your time appropriately to have enough sleep. Sufficient sleep will give you a positive temper. Don't forget to take care of your mental health as well. Exercise assisted in dealing with the daily frustrations of being a teacher as well as dealing with issues beyond control.

I understand that teachers' responsibilities are nearly impossible to fulfill without putting in extra hours. Recognizing that you cannot plan countless field trips, attend every school event, and serve on every committee can assist you in focusing on what will have the greatest impact on your students' success. Remember that making time for yourself is not selfish. It is required.

To avoid last-minute cramming, complete your assignments and review your lessons as soon as possible. Plan ahead of time and set aside time for specific school tasks. Take study breaks to improve your concentration and reduce stress. Use the technique as a time management method. You will learn more effectively if you create a study schedule and practice effective time management.

As you go longer in service, you might not realize the impact you have on your students until many years later. You may not see the immediate results of your efforts, but teachers change students' lives every day simply by being themselves and making connections. You may not see the immediate results of your efforts, but teachers change students' lives every day simply by being themselves and making connections. Keeping that in mind can help when you're feeling overwhelmed by your teaching responsibilities.

Planning your days is a great way to stay organized and accountable. Make a conscious decision about how you want to spend your time. If you have a habit of procrastinating, write a ten-minute break on paper and mark it done when you finish. Negotiate household responsibilities based on your availability. Combining work and school may not be the wisest decision, as it can lead to mediocre results in both.The trick is to make the most of your time when you can do multiple tasks at once. This is not an easy task, but with hard work and self-discipline, you will be able to complete it.

The DepEd has chosen teachers who have been trained by the country's top journalists to be teacher-broadcasters to deliver lessons via DepEd TV, and the DepEd has also upgraded its DepEd Commons, an online learning platform for both public and private schools. In response to numerous reports of errors discovered in various learning materials, the department was able to more than double the number of learners who can access the platform at the same time.

87 percent of the world's student population was affected by lockdowns and quarantines, and 1.52 billion students were absent. Curriculum recalibration is concerned not only with content but also with how it is to be learned, taught, and assessed in the context of the pandemic's challenges. Authentic assessments must be strengthened to ensure that learners acquire competencies. A flexible curriculum design should be learner-centered and take into account learners' demographics and circumstances.

One disadvantage of distance learning in the Philippines is the lack of social interaction and support. If you are the type of person who requires extra motivation to work, you may struggle to complete your assessments and study materials. Because your learning environment is not as controlled as that of a classroom, it is also easy to become distracted.

On the brighter side, students can study at home, and teachers can teach from the comfort of their own homes as well. It is currently the safest way to study because students do not have to leave the house and risk becoming ill or catching a virus. Students can spend more time with their families and communicate with them more frequently.

Teachers or the school may conduct a survey at the start of the year to get a baseline understanding of your students' technology access. In order to understand how people use technology in their homes, ask them questions. Respondents to a tech equity vision should be documented and posted so that students feel and see accountability and ownership. Rethink your homework policies; be mindful of the constraints students face in accessing technology.

Students and teachers required more accessible, digital, and personalized learning and teaching during the pandemic. Governments have the opportunity and responsibility to create tools that support learning both inside and outside of the classroom. Texthelp CEO Martin McKay believes that we must challenge educational technology providers to create solutions that are accessible to all. Accessibility and personalization within these tools are becoming more accessible to students of varying abilities.

Nowadays, technology is considered not only a trend but also the need of everyone. Due to this reason, students have become more easily distracted from their studies. Focus is so tiny that their supposedly “study” ended up opening Facebook applications on their smartphones instead. At one moment, a learner reads; a second later, the learner ends up playing mobile phone games. Due to the gadgets which are accessible and affordable, students of the new generation now lack interest and motivation in reading. Aside from that problem is their inability to comprehend what they are supposed to read. They become easily discouraged when they find the texts they are reading challenging to understand. This is not a minor issue in terms of quality education because building comprehension is essential. Without it, reading can become really frustrating and seems to be a pointless exercise in word calling (Comprehension Instruction, 2002).

Thomas Gunning’s Proposition Theory stated that readers construct a central idea or macrostructure as they process the text. If a person cannot build the main idea, then it is tough to process what they are reading. How well students nowadays develop their capability to comprehend what they have read has a profound effect on their entire lives is not an exaggeration. One of the significant goals of reading comprehension instruction is to help students develop their knowledge, skills, and experiences. This is vital as it may affect a learner’s capability in the future since reading comprehension is one of the essential skills a person must possess.

Reading is essential because it is an opportunity to orchestrate the methods and skills that are vital to acquiring comprehension, which, in turn, results in gaining new knowledge. According to Juan Miguel Cruz (2007), many Filipinos can barely read and write despite our supposedly high literacy rate. Basically, many find this true, specifically for those who live in far-flung areas as well as the poorest parts of the nation. Someone even once commented that we are not a country of readers; instead, we are a country of storytellers. Our history and culture are passed on through word of mouth and not through the written word. For this reason, reading is considered a fundamental skill that should not be compromised in a humane society (Selangan, 2015).

We need reinforcement to boost the concentration and focus of the students today. Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory stated that Collaborative Learning appeared to enhance students’ self-esteem and focus. Easy collaborative teaching strategies, if readily applied even within the traditional lecture, can promote active learning (Lom 2012). Improving a learner’s reading comprehension skills through collaborative learning may promote positive results individually and also as a group. It can help them enhance their ability to understand the texts they are reading when having fun. There are tons of teaching strategies and approaches one may possibly apply inside the classroom. However, in the end, the instructor is the responsible one for choosing which variant of this technique is to be followed and applied in the class (“Basic Active Learning Strategies”, n.d.).

During the last few years, the country's educational system has made significant progress. Since the implementation of the K-12 Curriculum, school policies and procedures have been modified and revised. As part of the program, additional competent and qualified teachers are being hired. Furthermore, extra classrooms, school supplies, and equipment are being added. Of course, the Department of Education and the Commission on Higher Education develop and distribute teaching and learning materials that are widely available not only through printed textbooks but also through the official websites of DepEd and CHED.

Despite the positive alteration in our educational system, the challenges that education industry stakeholders face in the aftermath of implementation have become transparent. For the full integration of the newly implemented programs, the education sector in the Philippines still requires the dispersion of employees who lack the necessary skills and a shortage of qualified workers. To facilitate all Senior High School enrollees, public schools still lacked classroom and school equipment. Amidst years of struggle, educational institutions continue to survive. There are sponsors who have donated aid to fund the schools with their expenses. To meet all of these demands, DepEd was able to expand and improve its budgeting technique.

Not a decade has passed, and the educational field faces another challenge imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The mode of learning has shifted to distance or blended learning, in which instruction vary based on the learner's accessibility to technology. Since most Filipino families are impoverished, not all students in face-to-face classes can afford online classes or even modular learning. As a result, many Filipino students are forced to drop out of school for a period of time.

Similarly, DepEd must devise a new strategy to manage the revisions and limit the problems caused by the pandemic. The seminars and training have been meticulously planned and executed in order for teachers to be equipped with the new mode of instruction and to guide their students in the new method of learning. It has never been easy for all schools to stay afloat in a pandemic. That is why, despite the fact that COVID cases have subsided, the Philippines is one of only two countries in the world that has not reopened schools or held in-person classes.

Opening a face-to-face class in the phase of a health crisis is a heavy commitment. To ensure the safety of both students and teachers, DepEd must plan every decision. School facilities and equipment remain a top priority. Regular school rules and regulations must also include health guidelines. Furthermore, all of these plans necessitate adequate support, such as everyone's cooperation and financial assistance.

Fortunately, DepEd issued its recommendation and guidelines for the pilot implementation of face-to-face classes in December of last year. Participating schools must be in areas classified as "low risk" or under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ).

With the scenarios described above, the budgeting process in the educational sector is the cornerstone to an unstoppable breakthrough. The proper and careful allocation and development of funds and facilities for the realization of school objectives is referred to as budgeting. It converts the school's needs, programs, and projects into monetary value. A school budget is intended to last for a long time. As a result, budgetary requirements for the future are projected. Budgeting governs a school system's financial behavior and is an important factor in adjusting easily for instructional planning. The budgeting process necessitates that educational administrators and planners use a structural model for efficient planning and control. 

For billions of years, the Earth has been alive. Have you ever wondered how many more years it will last? The world's attention was drawn to an alarming act of civil disobedience made by scientists. The scientist rebellion was headed by Dr. Peter Kalmus who was in the teary eye when warning everyone that the Earth only has less than 5 years to live. Fear and apprehension gripped people all over the world. The scientists emphasize that everyone must act to protect future generations. The question is, will less than 5 years suffice to restore Earth's stunning enchantress? Will we be able to save ourselves and our loved ones? or Will it is the end of our journey?

More pertinent than those questions are the concern about where this tragic prediction began. What have we forgotten to make things worse than they are now? Will you agree with me that the answer to this question is "ignorance" and "irrationality"? The combination of these factors made us believe that everything is going well. While we are reaping the full benefits of dangerous inventions, we are oblivious to the fact that we are already destroying something. Until we are shocked by the news that we are on the verge of losing everything. We lack the responsibility to be aware and to take an action.

As a result, strengthening science education is pivotal. At an early age of children, they must recognize the importance of every natural resource they have. In this way, they will have the heart to use these resources carefully and efficiently. They will not take advantage of it. The key to environmental issues is balancing technological advancement with the preservation of natural resources. Education will make this possible.

Science teachers must not only spoon-feed their students' minds. Most importantly, they will be able to pique their students' interest in the environment and green technology. Teachers can influence their students' actions in this way. Lack of knowledge leads to a lack of responsibility, which leads to failure.

An interactive science class is highly suggested to further foster student engagement and involvement in class. The modern approach to science education is a student initiation to learn in the presence of an educator. Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE) was implemented as a research-based approach to education. In this approach, learners are offered the chance to scrutinize an issue, decide on the best remedies, make inferences, pose questions, evaluate our theories, and use their intellect.

Control is the procedure of preparing, collaborating, and guiding school events while employing individuals and physical assets efficiently to ensure the institution's aspirations. This is not just for school administrators; everyone responsible for training should learn about school leadership. The primary aim of the organization is arranging, which is the way of constructing objectives and identifying actions to achieve those specific goals. Institutional employees will supervise, organize, and collaborate with a team of subordinates who provide administrative services. In educational environments, proper management of human and non-human resources is essential. Even though school resources are finite, the people involved must be handled and properly implemented. To do so, administrative officials must first comprehend asset categorization and features.

School-based management is an educational goal and initiative that transfers substantial choice jurisdiction from local and federal headquarters to school systems. School heads, teaching staff, students, and guardians have more direct authority over the education system with SBM. SBM can develop effective educational experiences by involving educators, parents, and other concerned citizens.

The education department and superintendent must be cooperative with school-based management from the onset. They must have faith in the school heads and councils to ascertain how to achieve the district's objectives. Only those eligible to participate in staff must receive courses in areas such as judgment, conflict resolution, and group cohesiveness. SBM implementation could take 5 years or more.

SBM facilitates and strengthens school-relevant parties to supervise their own transactions. SBM has been used in hundreds of educational districts in the state.  SBM has centered on two entitlements which are greater involvement in strategic planning and making "improved" moral choices. The regulation of specialist support and guidance by the region to the divisions, and by the segments of the schools, will be systematized through technical cooperation. The Quality Control and Accountability System offers a system for improving compliance in DepED's vital infrastructure, practices, outcomes, and effects at different levels of the organization.

It is bolstered by intersecting evaluation and monitoring procedures that provide instructors with relevant information for decision‐making. Build and evaluate regional assistance mechanisms to accommodate compliance with policies, systematic approach delivery, and quality control and accountability.

The Covid pandemic recession outlined the value of decentralization in the field of education. It was coincidental that the DepEd had executed its school-based management (SBM) program years before the global epidemic. Power decentralization benefits both locally and nationally academic officials. It relieves the head offices of the time-consuming activity of validating and defining local context while also empowering local officials.
