Pending the possible return to the pre-pandemic school calendar, a teachers’ group on Wednesday, April 12, proposed to the Department of Education (DepEd) to consider shortening class hours in schools during the hottest months of the year. ManilaBulletin
The Teachers Dignity Coalition , in a statement, agreed that there there is a need for the academic calendar to be reverted to the old system to accommodate school breaks during the dry season.While the TDC sees the discussion on the issue as an “opportunity” to widely tackle the situation of schools beyond the academic calendar, the group said that the problem should be addressed as soon as possible.
Given this, he noted reverting to the old academic calendar would “necessitate adjustments that may take several years to implement, while the suffering of teachers and learners is felt in real-time.” The DepEd, Basas said, even instructed the field officials to make use of the distance learning system if they find it necessary.
“Huwag naman yung totally ay walang contact ang mga bata sa kanilang teacher for the whole week ,” he said.
