The move, first resorted to during the crucial period of the COVID-19 pandemic, is intended to protect students and teachers from the threat posed by rising temperatures in General Santos.
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – Rising temperatures prompted the state-run Mindanao State University in General Santos to suspend face-to-face classes, shifting back to the online mode of holding classes in all levels of learning starting on Monday, March 27.
Online classes for college, senior high school, and junior high school subjects will be conducted from March 27 to 31. Isla said all college deans, and junior, and senior high school directors were told to monitor the online classes during the period and submit their reports to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
The MSU decision in General Santos was prompted by the advisory of the state weather agency Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration that warned of scorching heat index levels as high as 59 degrees Celsius.
