“After consulting with the Schools Division of Quezon City, we are pleased to clarify that the ABM [Accountancy, Business, and Management] strand at Balingasa High School will continue to operate,” DepEd said in a statement.

DepEd said it received a complaint from a group of parents regarding the potential dissolution of the ABM SHS strand at Balingasa High School following a “higher-than-expected enrollment turnout.”

The concerned parents, DepEd said, have been “informed of the resolution.”

Based on the latest enrollment data from DepEd, over two million SHS learners are enrolled in public schools this school year.

Enrollment

On the second day of school, DepEd recorded over 21.5 million students enrolled in formal and informal education.

Data as of July 30 showed there are 21,563,642 learners enrolled for School Year (SY) 2024-2025 in public and private schools, including the Alternative Learning System (ALS).

Of this number, 18,829,946 are in public schools, 2,462,785 in private schools, 32,746 in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs)/Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) that offer basic education, and 238,165 in ALS.

Across all levels, Elementary has the highest number of enrollees with 11,850,230, followed by Junior High School (JHS) with 5,455,741, and SHS with 3,019,506.

School opening concerns

Meanwhile, DepEd reiterated that it remains committed to “monitoring similar enrollment concerns and ensuring a smooth school opening.”
