New Normal Education in the Philippines should be a start of students hope but ironically it became a students worst nightmare.Suicidal rate increased,students started to give up because of pressure due to online and modular learning.An example of these,is a story of a distraught 19-year-old high school student in the Philippines has hanged himself after worrying his family would not be able to afford electronic equipment required for him to study online in the coming academic year.

Schools are supposed to reopen in August with new approaches to learning proposed by the Education Department in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The boy’s death on June 16 lays bare the dilemma facing students from low-income families unable to afford items like tablets and smartphones that would be needed to study online.

The unnamed student told his parents how sorry he was for causing “additional expense” to their already struggling family in Albay province, south of Manila. He also told his brother how distressed he was for having no tablet or smartphone for his online lessons.

“He told me that our family was already poor and that he was making our parents poorer because of the gadgets that we need for school this year,” said the victim’s younger brother.Though there were sorts of these kind of stories,the Department of Education (DepEd) anew if they still consider the opening of schools a victory after a student from South Cotabato supposedly took his own life after struggling with modules.

The College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP) said on Thursday that it was ironic for Education Secretary Leonor Briones to celebrate the opening of school year 2020 to 2021 as a victory against the pandemic — or the academic freeze — when students have been struggling to cope with inaccessible education modules.
