DepEd to identify schools for continued blended learning

The Department of Education (DepEd) will assess schools to check whether they can conduct five-day in-person classes come November.

“Titignan po natin kung ano yung mga sitwasyon ng ating mga paaralan, titignan natin kung may mga schools na talaga based on their infrastructure, hindi tayo kayang mag in-person classes. Doon po natin i-aapply ang blended learning,” Poa said.

If found that the school is not capable of holding face-to-face classes, DepEd will exempt these schools and allow them to continue with blended learning.

“Of course, we have to make specific exceptions doon sa mga hindi talaga kaya,” Poa said.

The DepEd has ordered all public and private schools to fully implement face-to-face classes starting November 2.

The order still stands, Poa said.
