From campus to screens
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has allowed higher education institutions to shift to 100 percent online classes due to the ongoing oil crisis and rising transportation costs, sparking mixed reactions among students. While some students see it as a practical solution to reduce daily expenses, others prefer face-to-face classes and highlight the issue of inequality among learners.
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has permitted colleges and universities to adopt 100 percent online classes amid rising fuel prices and transportation costs. Students have mixed reactions to the policy, with some finding it a relief as it reduces their daily expenses. Fierre Marie Daquiado, a University of the Visayas student, said it helps her save money and manage her allowance better. However, others like Era Figuracion prefer face-to-face classes as they help her stay productive. Andria Abajo from Cebu Technological University suggests hybrid learning as a more practical and manageable option. The shift to online classes highlights the issue of inequality among learners, with students from low-income households facing difficulties in adapting to online setups. Students are calling for balance and stronger support systems, such as internet allowances and clearer academic guidelines, to make the transition fair for everyone.
