This study aimed to determine the impact of New Normal Education brought about by Covid- 19 pandemic to teachers and students in Southern Palawan.

The respondents of this study were students and teachers of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand in Southern Palawan. Frequency count, mean, and percentage were the statistical tools employed. Most of the student-respondents were in grade 12 level; while most of the teacher-respondents were teaching grade 12, rendered service for 0 to 5 years, and bachelor’s degree holders. New Normal Education helped most of the students in becoming independent and self-reliant learners. It also lessens the expenses of the teachers as to when physical mode of teaching was still practiced. Students experienced problems related to internet connection, lesson delivery, and validation of learning; while teachers struggled on the delivery of quality learning to students in a distance. Doing school works beforehand, and proper managing of time such as doing the household chores in the daytime and answering modules at night time helped them overcome the challenges of meeting the deadlines in their school works and activities; while teachers communicated constantly with the learners and their parents to address school related problems.
