ICYMI: The DepEd will launch the revised K-10 curriculum in August, according to Education Undersecretary Michael Poa.
Also, the education official reiterated that the DepEd is undertaking a two-tracked approach to solve the issue of classroom shortage.
“We want to tap into technology to really help with congestion in our schools. We believe that by institutionalizing blended learning, this is the more effective way to quickly decongest our schools, not only by shifting schedules,” Poa said. “As of now, our school-based feeding program only covers 120 [feeding] days and we are looking to expand this to try and see if we could have it for the entire school year,” Poa said. “That’s very important because it hits two birds with one stone. Aside from giving proper nutrition to our learners, it also encourages our learners to stay in school, so dropout rates are also reduced,” he added.
