DEPED TALKS OF EXTENDING BLENDED LEARNING BEYOND NOVEMBER

Vice President and Education Secretary Sarah Duterte said  that Cabinet members are discussing whether primary and secondary schools will be allowed to continue blended or distance learning after Nov. 2 when all schools must resume full face-to-face classes. 

"Sa ngayon ay mayroon pa pong discussions at the Cabinet level kung bibigyan pa rin ba ng options ang mga schools with regard to kung anong klaseng distance learning or mag-i-implement ba sila ng blended learning," Duterte said on the sidelines of a gift-giving event for day care children in Mandaluyong City.

"So mayroon kaming report na ginagawa ngayon para sa Pangulong [Ferdinand] Marcos [Jr.] at makapagdesisyon siya kung ano po iyong ways forward natin with regard to the options na binibigay natin sa ating mga eskwelahan," she added.

The education ministry has ordered schools to return to full-capacity, face-to-face classes from Nov. 2, but Marcos suggested blended learning could continue in "very specific areas."

Duterte also referred to concerns about her COVID-19 cases at some schools, saying infections would be reported not only in educational facilities, but also in other facilities that have reopened.

She said DepEd is focused on preventing vaccination surges.

"Ang mahalaga lang sa pandemic is that we are sure that iyong bakuna ay available para sa ating mga citizens. And pangalawa, iyong gamot na Molnupiravir at Paxlovid ay available para sa mga nagkakasakit ng COVID na qualified sa mga gamot na ito," Duterte said.

"Pangatlo, iyong ating critical care capacities ng ating mga hospitals ay hindi nao-overwhelm," she added.
