MANILA - More than 800 private schools in the Philippines offering basic education will not operate this academic year, affecting tens of thousands of learners and teachers, the Department of Educatio
n said Monday.
Most of the schools ceasing operations come from Central Luzon, with 141 institutions, followed by Calabarzon with 136, and Metro Manila with 126. "Kailangan 'yong safety and welfare ng mga personnel. So kailangan sila mag-submit ng health protocols consistent with the health protocols ng ating kagawaran at saka ng inter-agency task force. Maliban doon, may concerns about the learning management system," he added.
Duterte signed last week the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act that would give allowance to qualified students, and displaced teaching and non-teaching personnel.
