A new beginning for over 22 million public school students in today's opening of classes as they embark on a blended learning set-up. They face access and connectivity issues, among others, but DepEd promises to help them as much as they can
Copies of the orders were published on the official social media page of the agency over the weekend.
President Rodrigo Duterte earlier ordered a six-week-long postponement of the school opening, as the government sought to iron out the logistical limitations for the conduct of the blended and distance learning classes. The law mandates the school year to start not later than the last day of August, but a measure signed by Duterte in July allowed the chief executive to set a different start date when there’s a state of emergency or calamity.
More than 24 million basic education students have so far enrolled for the new school year, with 22.5 million of them registered in public schools.
