THE DEPARTMENT of Education urged teachers and students to join the National Research Council of the Philippines’ “Back to Basic” online lectures.

Launched last month, the B2B series aims to present difficult science theories using videos and infographics for teaching, learning, and inspiring greater understanding and appreciation of basic science concepts that may lead to further researches.

“We are thankful for the Department of Science and Technology and the NRCP for this initiative that provides accessible lectures that are delivered in the most understandable way for teachers and learners. This is crucial in giving additional resources to help distance learning be as effective as possible,” Education Secretary Leonor Briones said.

Teachers were encouraged to attend the lectures that will run until December this year.

“Back to Basic lectures are delivered in a quick and comprehensible way especially for our learners. These lectures will serve as proof that science, unlike any other subjects, is enjoyable, so we highly encouraged learners to join in this program,” Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio said.

The participants will be given a certificate upon finishing a lecture.

“Interested participants may check Research Pod on Facebook for B2B live lectures and schedules. Participants who cannot join the proper lecture could still take the class on the BRITER Commons website,” DepEd said.
