DISCUSSION OF RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. Based on the result of interview, these are the common challenges that was encountered by the teachers in the post-pandemic times. The school year when the learners were brought back to the face-to-face learning modality is really a not a good experience to most of the teachers due to the several challenges that they have to face. Some of the major challenges are lack of readiness of learners, poor reading and writing skills, poor attention span, behavior of the learners, learning gaps in different subject areas, lack of technical know-how of teachers in dealing with such situations. Thus, the recognition of the existing issues and challenges on the part of the learners and teachers may lead to the appropriate steps and interventions with proper guidance and support from the school administrators..

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. These are the suggested solutions coming from the lens or views of teachers on their encountered challenges in the post-pandemic times. 1. Careful planning and preparation of the lesson may address the learning gaps and catch the interest ant attention of learners. 2. Tolerance of maximum participation in all the activities inside the class will enable the learners to learn more. Strengthen the partnership and communication with the parents to reinforce learning even at home. Recognize the learning gaps brought by pandemic to revise curriculum and policies that will help both the welfare of learners and teachers.
