First day of return to full face-to-face classes orderly so far --- DepED

Published Nov 2, 2022 11:29 am

The 100 percent implementation of five days of in-person classes in public schools has been orderly so far, the Department of Education (DepED) said on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

Kindergarten pupils of Pinayahan Elementary School do their school activity inside their classroom on the first day of full face-to-face classes in public schools on Nov. 2, 2022. The Department of Education (DepED) requires all public schools across the country to implement five days of in-person classes except for those schools that were expressly granted exemptions by the regional director concerned and schools with canceled classes because of disasters and calamities.

“Sa ngayon po, maayos naman po ang resumption ng ating classes so far (Right now, the resumption of our classes is going well so far),” DepED Spokesperson Michael Poa said in a Viber message sent to reporters.

The School Year (SY) 2022-2023 formally opened in public schools on Aug. 22. During the transition period from August to October, schools were allowed to implement blended learning and distance learning aside from five days of in-person classes.

Based on the school calendar issued by DepED for SY 2022-2023, all schools that offer basic education should implement five days of in-person classes starting Nov. 2 except for private schools which were allowed to continue the implementation of blended or distance learning.

Poa said that DepED is currently monitoring the full implementation of face-to-face classes particularly in public schools.

In the National Capital Region (NCR), for instance, Poa said that 96 percent of schools implement five days of in-person classes. These schools, he added, are holding face-to-face classes “in full capacity” or 100 percent of enrollees.

There are 827 public schools in Metro Manila according to DepED.

DepEd, he explained, is also waiting for reports from other regions to come in. “We are waiting for updates from our regions,” he said.

“Naghihintay rin po kami ng feedback from our regional directors, para po kung may challenges encountered man ay matugunan agad (We are also waiting for feedback from our regional directors, so that if there are any challenges encountered, they can be addressed immediately),” he added.

Poa said that DepED is also gathering data on schools where classes were declared suspended in the aftermath of recent natural disasters that hit the country.

“The data will come from our regions and as you know we also have many schools that have suspended classes today as declared by the LGUs ,” he explained.
