Aklan school sets up photos of students on empty chairs

IBAJAY, Aklan - A school in Ibajay town in Aklan, which adopted modular learning, welcomed more new students this school year and has employed a unique way of identifying them.

The arm chairs in the classrooms of Ibajay National High School are filled up with photos instead of students as part of efforts to implement health protocols amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Rodrigo Talingting Jr., the Special Program in the Arts department head, said most of the new students are in Grade 7 up to Grade 11.

The photos were set up so the teachers would be familiar with their students.

For visiting parents, they can identify the teachers through the photos that are placed at the door of each classroom.

Talingting said the project has just been implemented and the teaching staff are still in the process of collecting the photos of students so they can complete the roster.

He added that some of the students do not have social media accounts as they live in remote areas. -- BAP, GMA News
