What do you think about this DepEd order?
The DepEd order also stated that school year 2022-2023 will begin on Monday, August 22, and end on July 7, 2023.The DepEd said that it will give schools ample time to slowly transition into in-person classes by implementing any of the following options:Three days of in-person classes and 2 days of distance learning, or 4 days of in-person classes and 1 day of distance learningThe DepEd said that these options will only be implemented by schools until October 31, 2022.
Will face-to-face classes be mandatory for all students? Or can students opt out if they feel unsafe attending in-person classes? At a press briefing on Tuesday, Education Undersecretary Epimaco Densing said that the order is “mandatory,” which means all “enrolled students abide.” The DepEd order is applicable “regardless of the COVID-19 alert level imposed by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases or the Department of Health in areas where schools are located.” But in case of a surge in cases, Densing said that the pandemic task force could recommend suspension of classes to DepEd. Over two years into the pandemic, the Philippines is among the few countries in the world where schools have not fully opened for in-person classes.
