Video conferencing became an indispensable means for learning during the global pandemic, and while it provided convenience for both teachers and students, it also gave way to some new problems.

One such problem is popularly known as ‘Zoom fatigue,’ which refers to students’

burnout caused by the long use of video conferencing applications. This fatigue results in the loss of students’ interest and attention which negatively affects their learning.

That is why Mrs. Vasquez held a video conference meeting with the St. Thomas

Highschool’s teachers to discuss how to deal with this problem and improve their virtual classes.

Mrs. Vasquez recognizes the importance of financial literacy, not only for students but also for school personnel as well, because this knowledge will enable them to manage their finances properly.

She is also aware of the risks posed by the lack of financial literacy, and to arrest this

rising problem; she decided to do her part in equipping students and school personnel with knowledge in this area.

That is why she partnered with an NGO called ‘PinoyPesoPower’ (fictional NGO), which aims to bring financial literacy to more Filipinos.

The NGO believes that equipping Filipinos with knowledge on how to manage their finances properly is one of the major keys in their progress.

PinoyPesoPower has already partnered with many institutions to further spread

financial literacy to Filipinos, and St. Thomas Highschool was their latest partner through Mrs. Vasquez’s initiative.

another problem about the students’ lack of motivation for attending their virtual classes on time.

That is why she suggested that a reward system must be implemented to encourage students to become punctual in their virtual classes.

will then be converted to additional points on their exams or other things that are beneficial to students’ academics.
