It would take at least three years before the old school calendar could be brought back and the summer vacation returned in April-May, the Department of Education said Tuesday.
He said the DepEd is also coordinating with state weather bureau PAGASA regarding the proposals to revert the former school calendar, which typically starts in June, amid the extreme heat and the El Niño phenomenon. “The April-May school break is what suits our country best as the hottest months of the year are not conducive to learning, especially with our inadequate, cramped and non-airconditioned classrooms. These are also the peak months for agricultural harvest, which we know that majority of our learners in the rural areas participate in,” said ACT chairperson Vladimer Quetua.
