Based on the target of DepEd and DOH, a total of 95 public elementary schools, five Senior High Schools (SHS) and 20 private elementary schools will be included in the pilot face-to-face classes.

For private schools, Assistant Secretary Malcolm Garma said that the final list has not yet been completed.

Currently, Garma said that there were 57 private schools that have been “submitted for evaluation.” DepEd hopes to finalize the list of 20 participating private schools by Nov. 12.

DepEd earlier said that the pilot run of face-to-face classes is scheduled to start on Nov. 22.

The 100 identified schools were selected from 638 nominated schools for the pilot implementation of face-to-face classes that will begin on Nov. 15 based on the recommendation of the DOH to DepEd.

To allay the concerns of parents and other stakeholders, DepEd said that selected schools were thoroughly evaluated by the DOH Epidemiology Bureau and identified as minimal or low risk, based on the Alert Levels of the provinces, highly urbanized cities (HUCs), independent component cities (ICCs) and risk categories of the municipality and city.
