This monthlong implementation of blended learning is intended to “protect students, teachers, as well as parents and guardians facing health risks due to an ongoing heat wave,” the city government said in a statement.
Last year, DepEd had already issued Department Order No. 37, which provides for the implementation of modular distance learning in the event of canceled or suspended classes due to natural disasters, calamities, and human-induced hazards. “The summer heat has been bringing inconveniences and risks to both the learners and the teachers the past weeks and with the affirmation of the weather bureau that warmer temperatures are expected as the warm and dry season begins, there is a felt need to protect the well-being of the learners and the teachers from the extremely high temperatures,” Lorna Bugayong, superintendent of that office, said in a memorandum posted by the Philippine News Agency.
“If the national government is unable to come up with this [system] soon, the local governments should take the initiative,” she added.
