Abstract:
This study aimed to describe the compliance with the guidelines for school’s reopening in implementing face-toface learning modality of the schools in the District of Boac North. It answered questions relative to the level of
compliance of the school to the guidelines for the school opening using face-to-face modality in terms of General
Guidelines; on the prevention of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases and Monitoring and Evaluation, on the
issues and challenges experienced regarding the implementation of face-to-face classes; the coping strategies are
used to address the issues and challenges on the implementation of face-to-face classes and the enhanced
implementation framework/model to be proposed by on the results of the study.The study used mixed methods
of research or combined quantitative and qualitative methods. Sources of data or respondents included four
significant groups. They included 198 teachers, 4,061 learners, 19 barangay captains, and 19 Barangay Health
Workers in the District of Boac North. It reveals that the schools assessed as fully compliant with the general
guidelines of the opening of face- to- face learning modality in terms of alignment to BEDP. Lack of significant
difference between the compliance level of schools to DepEd Order 34 s 2022, and the designation of school
heads and school size only show that compliance to this provision is mandatory and standard across schools and
learning communities. Principals, Head Teachers, and Teacher-In-Charge managed the select schools subjected
to this study. Over all, the select schools under this investigation attained full compliance and adherence to the
salient guidelines and standards of implementation of face- to- face learning along the contexts of general
guidelines, on prevention of Covid-19 and other infectious diseases and monitoring and evaluation. Most of the
select schools under this study were seriously challenged by problems with limited health supplies and resources.
In general, most of the select schools were able to cope with the challenges of face- to- face learning through
sourcing out learning tools from reliable sources and strengthening collaboration with the stakeholders. The
provision of reinforcements, strategies and best practices in support of schools’ compliance to the standards of
implementation of face-to- face learning in consideration of general policies, health and safety, and evaluative
system direct the developed Enhanced Implementation Framework/Model.
