Cordillera - Access to the internet and phone signal was not a hindrance for teachers in Kalinga to continue educating their students.
They came up with a solution of using walkie-talkies to provide instructions to almost 154 students from Magnao Elementary School.
Alain Pascua, one of the teachers in Magnao ES posted a message on his Facebook account. He said:
"Walang internet? Walang problema!
Narito kami sa Brgy. Magnao sa Kalinga at bagamat walang signal dito, naisip ni Teacher-In-Charge Rafael Gonayan ng Magnao Elementary School na hanapan ng solusyon.
Ang 2-way radio system ang ginagamit ngayon ng may 154 na mag-aaral, samantalang 7 guro ang pumupunta sa Magnao ES upang "magturo" gamit ang walkie-talkies.
Nakilala namin ang ilang mga mag-aaral hawak ang kanilang mga 2-way radio, maputik man dahil sa dumaang mga bagyo.

Wala pang maayos na daan papunta sa Magnao ngunit hindi ito balakid upang makapag-aral nang mabuti ang ating learners.
Using 2-way radios as an alternative method of teaching to underprivileged students without access to the internet and television is encouraged by the government so that kids would no longer present to school to avoid being expose with the virus.
Similarly, some teachers in Abra had been been using walkie-talkies to their pupils to relay instruction on how to go with their module.
