English: Gatchalian pointed out that enrollment among learners with disabilities and Alternative Learning System (ALS) learners are yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. For Gatchalian, this presses the need to bring education opportunities more accessible to these learners, noting that they were already struggling before the pandemic hit.
Filipino: Binigyang diin ni Gatchalian na nananatiling mababa ang enrollment ng mga learners with disabilities at mga mag-aaral ng Alternative Learning System (ALS). Kung susuriin ang datos, malayo pa ang bilang ng mga naka-enroll ngayon sa bilang na naitala bago tumama ang pandemya. Kaya naman para kay Gatchalian, dapat ilapit ang edukasyon sa mga mag-aaral na ito, lalo na't hinaharap na nila ang maraming hamon bago pa ang hagupit ng pandemya.
