'Ensure safety of students, teachers'
SEN. Christopher Lawrence 'Bong' Go stressed the need to ensure the safety and comfort of students and teachers amid the proposal to bring back the old academic calendar.The senator is confident that the government can come up with a solution that will safeguard the physical well-being of all students, teachers and other school workers.'We will leave that to our education and tourism departments. We're studying this,' Go said.
Go noted that a recent survey of about 11,000 teachers showed that at least 67 percent of public school teachers complained that students are easily distracted due to the 'intolerable heat' inside the classroom, which makes schools not conducive to learning.'Not all classrooms have aircon [systems]. Some classrooms have no electric fan. It's very hot, especially in areas without trees, in flat areas,' he said in Filipino.
