Basas noted that during the previous school year, many schools were compelled to resort to online or modular learning when teachers and students fell ill due to extreme heat,
“Classes were also cut short for the same reason. These were done to mitigate the impact of the heat, which was exacerbated by our crowded, poorly ventilated and inadequately insulated classrooms,” he said. Based on the TDC’s proposal, the next school year may start on Aug. 28 or Aug. 29 but should end on April 27, 2024.
“The proposed schedule includes 33 Saturdays of asynchronous class, bringing the total number of school days to 193, which is more than the DepEd-prescribed 180 nonnegotiable school days,” it said. INQSubscribe to our daily newsletter
