THE DEPARTMENT of Education said parents should be models of ‘values, resilience and empathy’ to students this school year.

In a virtual press conference, DepEd Undersecretary Annalyn Sevilla said parents should cooperate with the schools in helping students practice honesty under the modular learning method.

“Ito ang partnership na hinihingi namin sa mga magulang. Kung gusto ninyong matuto ang inyong anak ng honesty, ng responsibility, ng love of country, love of community, hindi na po kailangan ng learning resources. Dito ninyo po maipakikita sa kanila na matuto silang maging tapat,” said Sevilla.

DepEd advised the parents to guide their children in using the modular lessons  for this school year.

“Gabayan ninyo po sila. Ipakita ninyo sa kanila na although mahirap ang gagawin ngayon, hindi importante ang grado muna, ang importante ay makita ninyo na kahit may problema marunong tayo tumugon at tuloy-tuloy tayo sa ating buhay,” added Sevilla.
