2. SYNTHESIS

The HEI will continue to operate after ECQ in spite of the health and economic
crises that hound the world. One problem is the decrease enrolment due to COVID-
19. Senior high school students may not proceed to enrol in colleges due to health
or financial reasons. Face-to-face marketing is not possible due to ECQ. HEI
administrators may use this lull time to assess their resources and adapt them to the
new normal.
