Public schools can also apply for an exemption to hold five-day face-to-face classes beyond November 2, Department of Education spokesperson Michael Poa said on Wednesday. READ:
“If there are public schools that cannot hold 5-days of in-person classes, they may apply for an exemption to their respective Department of Education regional directors,” Poa said.
Meanwhile, the DepEd has not changed the implementation of five-day in-person classes in public schools despite the detection of 81 cases of the COVID-19 Omicron XBB subvariant and 193 cases of the XBC variant.“Right now, there is no advice on any change. In fact, we just issued DO 44 on Monday. DepEd will always take its cue from the advice given by the DOH when it comes to health guidelines or any health concerns,” Poa added in a public briefing.
“Students learn better from interaction and direct instruction from teachers, and interaction with fellow learners is beneficial,” he said. With the detection of COVID-19 XBB and XBC, Poa said DepEd is continuing its coordination with the Health Department and other government agencies to monitor the situation in schools.
