Schools to implement distance learning when classes are suspended: DepEd
To ensure learning continuity amid the cancellation of classes during natural calamities or disasters, the Department of Education (DepEd) has instructed schools to implement distance learning delivery when classes have been declared suspended.

As stated in DepEd Order No. 37, s. 2022 or the “Guidelines on the cancellation or suspension of classes and work in schools in the event of natural disasters, power outages/interruptions, and other calamities” signed by Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte, schools were allowed to make adjustments to learning delivery due to suspensions or cancellations of classes.
“In the event of cancelled or suspended classes, distance learning or make-up classes shall be implemented to ensure that learning competencies and objectives are still met,” the DepEd Order read.
In adherence to the provision of DepEd Order No. 14, s. 2021, the department noted that “learners who miss learning activities due to class suspensions brought about by various disruptions like disasters and/or emergencies due to natural or human-induced hazards shall be accorded due consideration in the completion of their learning tasks.”
Following the recommendation of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. approved the suspension of classes in public schools and work in Metro Manila as well as in provinces in Regions I, II, CAR, III, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, and Bicol on Monday, Sept. 26, due to typhoon Karding.

Meanwhile, DepEd reiterated that the new guidelines on the cancellation or suspension of classes and work in schools are now in effect.
The guidelines, DepEd said, aim to further guide schools, their personnel, and learners, both within the public and private institutions on the suspension of classes and work during emergencies.
Meanwhile, DepEd has yet to release initial data on the learners, teachers and schools affected by typhoon Karding.
