Late enrollees

In a Viber message to reporters, DepEd Assistant Secretary and Deputy Spokesperson Francis Cesar Bringas said that late enrollees will still be accepted in public schools.

“We accommodate late enrollees although we don’t encourage them to be late so class programming, especially in big schools, would be more efficient,” Bringas said in a mix of English and Filipino.
