DepEd mandated all public and private schools to have remedial classes for students in their failing subject areas last March 23, 2018, to help students cope with their failed grades and for them to pass the subject.

Lagro High School only offered Science Remedial classes for failing Grade 8 students since the S.Y 2017-2018, however it was discontinued due to COVID-19.

An online meeting with the parents of the failing student will be conducted first for consultation and for their consent as the remedial classes will take more time for the students to answer their modules and activities prepared by the teachers.

The student will have a separate google classroom and all the video lessons and worksheets prepared by the teacher will be uploaded, a target date will be set for them to watch the video lessons and answer all the worksheets given.

Mrs. Cristina Altoveros Delizo, a Science teacher and one of the teachers assigned for remedial classes said in an online interview that the only difference between the Science remedial classes now is that it is done immediately before the end of the grading period and it is online.

“Actually, maganda at maraming benefits itong science remedial classes. Dahil dito, pwedeng makabawi yung mga students na nagfail sa Science subject at tinutulungan nito ang mga students na makapasa. Isa pa ay naiiwasan na magrepeat ng grade 8 ang ilang mga students sa tulong nitong remediation classes.” Mrs. Delizo stated.

She also stated that 50 students during the 1st grading underwent Science remedial classes, but not all of them accomplished all the given worksheets and activities.

“Sa totoo lang, mahirap talaga iperform yung mga worksheets and activities kasi nasa online classes tayo and medyo nahihirapan akong mag manage ng time pero maganda ito kasi binigyan ako ng chance na mabago ang grade ko at para makapasa ako.” stated Jessry Costinar from Grade 8 Tindalo, a student that underwent the Science remedial classes.

"Mas natuto ako dahil don and maganda siya dahil nababalikan yung mga lessons mula sa umpisa. Mahirap yung mga lessons pero dahil doon mas marami akong natutunan. Masaya din ako kasi nakapasa ako at nagimprove na ang grades ko at hindi na ako nagreremedial." Gabriel Cuanan from Grade 8 Dapdap said in an online interview, a student that also underwent Science remedial classes.
