SUPPORTING EVIDENCES: In a news report by Aneth Ng-lim in 2022 titled "Why our
kids need to go back to face-to-face classes," it was highlighted that
students engaged in modular, online, and blended learning experienced reduced
learning outcomes compared to the traditional face-to-face class setup. The
adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were not limited to academic
performance, as both the mental and physical health of students were
significantly affected. The report further emphasized that remote learning
contributed to a substantial increase in learning poverty in the Philippines,
reaching 90 percent in 2021. These findings underscore the multifaceted
challenges posed by the prolonged period of remote education and advocate for
the imperative need to reintroduce face-to-face classes for the holistic well-
being and academic development of students.
