Here is a look at scenes from schools as millions of Filipino students begin school year 2018-2019

MANILA, Philippines – Classes began on Monday, June 4, for around 27.7 million students nationwide.

The Department of Education (DepEd) earlier said it is “all systems go” for school year 2018-2019, despite perennial problems that still hound some schools, including the availability of classrooms.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) deployed 28,000 cops to secure students, school personnel, and parents. There were no reported terror threats in relation to the opening of classes.

Below are scenes from some public schools in Metro Manila on Monday.
