Class shifting poses threat to health and safety of learners, teachers — group
As the country prepares for the full resumption of face-to-face classes this incoming school year, a group of education workers on Saturday, Aug. 13, urged the Department of Education to find a long-term solution to the shortage in basic education resources —particularly in classrooms.
However, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines called out DepEd for this “band-aid solution.” Quetua noted that there were also instances wherein schools were forced to implement triple shifting due to the high number of enrollees in a specific school or area. Given this, ACT urged DepEd to come up with a long-term solution to address the classroom shortage which has been a perennial problem, especially in public schools located in highly-urbanized areas.
