120 schools eyed for planned pilot face-to-face classes: DepEd
MANILA — The Department of Education is planning to hold a dry run of limited in-person classes in 120 schools once President Rodrigo Duterte allows a pilot test, an official said Thursday.
"The DOH is agreeable to the addition of 20 private schools," he added in a Viber message to reporters. Duterte has repeatedly rejected the DepEd's proposals for the dry run due to concerns of more infectious variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
