DepEd said that all learners in the said grade levels in public elementary and secondary schools need to pre-register or participate in the early registration to allow the Department to “make the needed preparations and adjustments of plans for the incoming SY.”
Classes in public schools for the current school year opened on Aug. 22, 2022.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, DepEd opened the SY 2020-2021 on Oct. 5 and SY 2021-2022 on Sept. 13 under distance learning.
