A JOINT research recently conducted by the University of San Carlos and Thames International School revealed that even students from private schools have not been spared from learning degeneration brought about by the pandemic. This research focused on the 'Most Essential Learning Competencies' on three subjects: science, mathematics and English. But even before the pandemic struck, there was already research whose results are no less appalling.

Organizations that are involved in international assessment revealed that learning loss is evident among our students.
