Fascinating apparatuses. Organized laboratory materials. Concrete and complete equipment. Isn’t it amazing to have one readily available at school? Yes, indeed!

Face-to-face modalities have begun and the need to equip a child in the educational system to combat learning poverty aligned with the usage of technological infusion makes it harder for the teaching and learning process. Facing a leap of hindrances not only in the financial aspect but also with capacitated teachers who can inculcate education without withstanding the fact that they need to double-time right now was already something that one needs to assess and improve on. When the pandemic situation hit the world, laboratory apparatuses and equipment were continuously delivered to schools. Since the modular process was implemented, these apparatuses and equipment were stuck for two years and unmoved. Now that the world eases, it is high time to let the students get a hold of assistance infused in their respective lessons.

Asking where to start? The curriculum currently implemented under the MATATAG agenda of the Department of Education can be infused with activities as technology serves an abundance of this. One aspect of technology that showed enormous help was that all information was readily available in just one click. Since the educational avenue was already laid, the development of such in line with the management of the present laboratory rooms can be done. Engaging by grade level through an assisted portal will give ease to these developments that are the rightful future of the current education. To ensure maintenance of the laboratory management system laid out and developed, an assigned teacher is a must to cover the schedule, technological application of arrangement of laboratory apparatuses and equipment as well as the assurance of its quality of usage over time. This is the part where tasks pile up, but given consideration, it is so considerably fascinating ones carried out carefully. It just needs to have the assigned teacher record the inflows and outflows of all usage with both soft and hard copies or records.

For the evaluation, this system was already being used by most schools especially those that were established with libraries. An evaluation form by both students and teachers who will use the laboratory rooms on a day-to-day basis can be enforced for quality assurance. In this case, either an app or a paper form will be given and answered

each and after usage and can be checked every month for evaluation of improvement. A meeting per quarter will allow the department assigned to laboratory management to lay out plans and proposals to achieve their goal of setting up an environment for students to have a grasp of science education in a futuristic manner.

With all that being said, it is hoped that in every school, all items delivered for laboratory activities will be in use and the students to be allowed with more interactive and hands-on activities. As the great Albert Einstein said, “I never teach my pupils, I only provide the conditions in which they can learn.” With this in mind and the appropriate program for laboratory management development, it is perceived as achievable!
