MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 One of the biggest challenges faced by both learners and teachers during this time of crisis is the shift from the usual face-to-face class style to online and modular learning, as many countries embrace the so-called “new normal” amid the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Recently, a story of Grade 2 student, Arvin Jay Curangcurang from\u00a0Brgy. Cabatang, Alicia, Bohol went viral on social media for making things possible amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Her 22-year-old aunt, Giecel Marie Curangcurang, posted photos of Arvin seemingly enjoying his online class under a treehouse built on a hill.<\/p>\n

Since his classes started on August 3, Arvin has been attending the modular learning mode with Giecel as his guardian.<\/p>\n

With Arvin’s determination to study, Giecel decided to find a place where a steady internet signal could allow Arvin to attend an online class instead.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Giecel found a spot in the middle of a hill with a 4G internet signal.<\/p>\n

Arvin’s grandfather built the treehouse on the hill so it could serve as a classroom during his virtual class sessions.<\/p>\n

The place has a breezy and peaceful ambiance where Arvin can concentrate on his online school activities.<\/p>\n

Giecel said the hill is only five minutes away from their house.<\/p>\n

Giecel and Arvin spend half-day on the hill for the class sessions \u2013\u2013 from 7:45 a.m. to 11 a.m. daily.<\/p>\n

She said Arvin is very eager and willing to learn amid the challenges brought by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Giecel wished Arvin to finish his studies.<\/p>\n

Arvin’s teacher, Maria Jannen Palma Asino, lauded his determination to attend school activities no matter what challenges get through him.<\/p>\n

“I’m very happy and proud to Maam Miyay [Giecel] and to my pupil Arvin who found a way to access [internet] signal for the online class, this kid has a good future ahead of him,” Asino said in Bisaya on her Facebook post.<\/p>\n

In compliance with President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s directive, the education department has postponed face-to-face classes until a vaccine for the coronavirus disease becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
