A youth group has questioned why only 7,000 public schools across the country will receive support for internet service in time for the opening of classes on August 24.

RJ Naguit, chair of Akbayan Youth, said the target number will leave out more than 40,000 public schools in the Department of Education’s internet program.

“The target completion of the project, which costs P700 million, will be in ten months,” Duterte said in a report that was made public on Tuesday, June 30. “The internet program for schools won’t be done before April 2021. How can they insist on opening the school year in August and say ‘bahala na ’ to students and teachers for half a year,” Naguit said.
