WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
For the first time in almost two years, the Philippines will reopen in-person classes on Monday, November 15, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
The Department of Education (DepEd) has so far approved 100 public schools that will take part in the pilot run of limited face-to-face classes starting November 15. These schools are from areas that are deemed low-risk for COVID-19 by the Department of Health.
Twenty private schools will start face-to-face classes beginning November 22, the DepEd said.
President Rodrigo Duterte has given the go signal to allow more schools to join the pilot run.
