In a virtual press briefing, Education Secretary Leonor Briones and other DepEd officials from the central and regional levels gave updates on the first day of pilot implementation of face-to-face classes which started on Nov. 15.

“Very successful,” Briones said when asked to give an initial assessment on the first day of pilot in-person classes. She explained that 97 out of 100 public schools which were earlier identified started face-to-face activities as scheduled.

“Sa actual na pag-implement ng pilot, may nakikita tayo - ano pa ang dapat gagawin (When it comes to the actual implementation of the pilot, we are still seeing some things that need to be done),” Briones said.

Despite this, Briones said that the first day of the pilot face-to-face classes was nonetheless a success because “all our planning, calculations, preparations paid off.”

“It's a wonderful day for everyone in pilot schools,” she added.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service (DRRMS) Director Ronilda Co also discussed the support mechanisms for learners and teachers in the participating schools.

In a Laging Handa briefing, Briones explained that with 97 out of the 100 public schools pushed through with the first day of face-to-face classes, “we consider it very, very successful.”

DepEd Undersecretary for Field Operations Revsee Escobedo also noted that the first day of pilot face-to-face classes went well.

Citing reports from the field, he noted that the pilot in-person classes were implemented “smoothly” in 97 schools on the first day.
