We always manage to rise above the challenges with a smile and a hopeful heart instead of wallowing.Pandemic it is not a hindrance to stop our passion for reading in the lives of our learners.

Pupils under Modular Modality were convened at Kapitan Miling Sports Complex with a limited number of pupils under the scheduled time and had observed health protocols. Some teachers did home visitations just to know the reading ability of their pupils. For Synchronous and Asynchronous classes administration of Phil-IRI was done online individually.
