The first announcement of the first movement control order (MCO) on the morning of March 16 wreaked havoc on students, staff and administrators of public and private higher education institutions (HEIs). Classes were hastily rescheduled, examinations were postponed, and students scrambled to return home. Despite the chaos, there was a sense that it was all just temporary and that everything will get back to normal in a few weeks.
But as the days have gone by, HEIs are realising that “normal” will not come back anytime soon. Academicians have begun conducting online lectures and re-arranging their semester scheduling to fit the new reality. Administrators and management teams have begun building business contingency plans to ensure financial stability and continuity. Students have been putting in their best efforts to try to learn in these challenging times.
