President Rodrigo Duterte also thumbed down last February the proposed trials of limited face-to-face classes, citing that the national vaccination drive had yet to be launched.
Secretary Leonor Briones has withdrawn the request of the Department of Education to resume limited face-to-face classes in the basic education level after President Rodrigo Duterte rejected the proposal.
“Dito sa face-to-face , I think I am not inclined to agree with you. I’m sorry, I cannot gamble on the health of the children,” he said during his weekly televised address. Briones added that the DepEd has initially identified 1,900 schools which may qualify to conduct limited face-to-face classes. Briones said that the DepEd will take into consideration the health of 27 million children and over 800,000 teachers. She added that the agency has been preparing if ever the national government orders the physical opening of schools.
