PINAYAGAN na ni Pangulong Duterte ang limited na face-to-face classes sa mga lugar na mababa ang banta ng coronavirus disease.
Sa isang kalatas ng Department of Education, tinatayang nasa 120 eskwelahan ang kabilang sa pilot implementation ng limited face-to-face classes.
Mula sa 100 pampubliko at 20 pribadong paaralan ang kabilang sa pilot implementation ng face-to-face classes at ito ay mula sa mga lugar na mababa ang bilang ng kaso ng COVID-19.
“We would like to emphasize that the pilot will only be participated by at least 100 public schools and 20 private schools. These schools are located in minimal-risk areas based on the criteria set by the Department of Health (DOH), and must have passed the safety assessment using the school safety assessment tool of DepEd, and have the support of the local government unit in the form of a resolution or letter of support. While the public schools have already undergone a selection process, the private school participants will still undergo selection,” ayon sa kalatas ng DepEd.
Nauna nang sinabi ni Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque na 150 lugar ang inirekomenda ng Department of Education na magsagawa ng face-to-face classes.
