Makeshift Learning Center Created by Pampanga Teachers Aeta Students
Pampanga teachers create a makeshift learning center using a tricycle for the Aeta students living in remote areas.
Several teachers residing in Porac, Pampanga expressed their concern towards the children from an indigenous Aeta tribe. The teachers have decided to take an action to help the young children after schools shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The indigenous Aeta people living at an isolated community in the mountainous area of Northern Manila have no internet access. The educators said that the tribe has no TV reception to support the distance learning.
The group created a makeshift learning center a tricycle to give Aeta kids the opportunity to learn. Using old wooden boards and bookshelves, the compassionate educators made an improvised rickshaw with a large monitor placed at the top of a tricycle.
The teachers have recorded videos on their gadgets and played it on the large monitor. Their makeshift method of learning shows compliance with the social distancing measures and to avoid face-to-face contact with the students.
“We had to think of an alternative way to bring the lessons to the children,” Villa Maria Integrated School teacher Christopher Semsem said.
