contents <p><span>The COVID-19 epidemic caused significant disruptions in several industries, including education. In response, the <em>Southern Philippines Agribusiness Marine and Aquatic School of Technology</em> (SPAMAST) implemented a modular learning model to maintain continuity in social work education. This research investigates the challenges, experiences, and lessons learned from that transformation, with the goal of informing institutional practices as well as larger policy reforms. Data were obtained using a descriptive-qualitative methodology, with validated open-ended interview questions administered via <em>Google Forms</em>. The data were interpreted using thematic analysis and systematic coding, as well as related literature. The findings highlighted considerable challenges: students battled with topic understanding, deadline overload, and inadequate internet access, while teachers reported insufficient participation and feedback methods. The study emphasizes the need to restructure modular learning to be more inclusive, responsive, and resilient. It also advocated for more institutional support and regulatory changes to boost educator competence and digital infrastructure in future crisis-driven or blended learning settings.</span></p>
