Education Delivery in the New Normal in Selected Secondary Schools in Tacloban City: Challenges, Coping, and Interventions.

This study was conducted to assess the challenges, coping, and interventions by three (3) secondary schools in Tacloban City for SY 2021-2022 on the delivery of basic education during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The study used a total population sampling which includes 77 teachers. The study employed a descriptive research design to describe the challenges, coping, and interventions made by teachers in the delivery of basic education during the pandemic. High risk of imposture to COVID-19, low internet connectivity on the side of the learners, limited comprehension and lack of interest from students, non-submission of outputs on time, and the assessment of students' outputs were the challenges encountered by teachers. On the other hand, the following were the coping strategies employed by teachers: maintaining a positive attitude, using social media such as "Facebook" and "messenger" in communicating to students and parents, using online platforms such as "google meet" and "zoom" to deliver instruction, creating messenger group chat in school to monitor students' performance, and conducted a virtual meeting with parents. The use of modules and online platforms was the common intervention made by the 3 schools in the delivery of basic education. In case of disruption of classes due to any form of disaster, it is highly recommended to adapt the interventions made by the 3 schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
