The Department of Education rejected fresh calls to postpone the opening of classes under blended learning on August 24, saying pushing back the school calendar will work against students.target date [we're really sticking with the August 24 target date]," Education Secretary Leonor Briones said in a Monday media briefing.Kung masa-stuck tayo sa basic education, delayed din ang supply natin ng professionals na kailangan natin dito sa ating bansa...
She added it was time for the Philippines to resume basic education classes as neighboring countries have already done so, with Thai, Singaporean and Vietnamese learners even back inside classrooms. President Rodrigo Duterte has banned face-to-face classes until a COVID-19 vaccine is developed. Still, Briones said there was no point delaying the opening of classes as 22.9 million students are already enrolled for the new academic year.
