Abstract :
Philippine educational system drastically
changes as COVID-19 pandemic affects thousands of
people. To address the needs of the learners Department
of Education came up with the different distance
learning delivery modalities as part of the department’s
learning continuity plan.Modular and online distance
learning require vital role of home facilitators which
serve as a bridge of home and school to achieve
educational success. In relation, teachers must ensure
the status of parents’ ICT skills and online accessibility
as basis for proposed training on intensified parental
support, which is the main objective of the study. To
address the problem, an online and written survey was
distributed to the 34 randomly selected Grade 5 and 6
parents of BBES. The results of the survey showed that
Grade5 and 6 parents of BBESlack of Microsoft skills
which are very essential in assisting pupils in
accomplishing learning tasks in online learning; and
majority of parents need more skills to perform internet
surfing which serve as an online platform in online
distance learning. It is also revealed that the majority of
parents have an access in internet connection and ICT
equipment and gadgets despite that the geographical
location is in urban place. From the results, teachers
mustconduct a basic ICT training to equip parents with
enough ICT competencies and further provide
intensified parental support to their children.
Additionally, it is recommended to develop new
alternative ways of delivering lessons since some of the
students do not have access to stable internet connection.
The development of modules and ICT related activities
should also consider the context and situation of the
learner and parents.

ICT literacy, online accessibility, parental involvement
