During this pandemic season, everyone must be flexible, like what the education sector is doing. It will be the first time that face to face learning discussion will not be applied. We can see how educators embrace the challenges of the new normal. For now, it is best to support even in our little ways the plans for the education sector. Let us not forget to do our part during these challenging times.
