On Wednesday, Feb. 17, the Department of Education (DepEd) said it is considering extending the school year by shortening the two-month summer break of students into just two weeks.
Hindi na magkakaroon ng mahabang break sa pagitan ng dalawang taong pasukan. Baka dalawang linggo lang. Pag-uusapan din ‘yan,
Education undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio said.
He added that DepEd may also extend the quarter by two weeks to give more time for students to complete school requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic.
OTHER STORIES:
San Antonio also expressed his concern over a field report that arrived at DepEd, where 1% out of 99% students during the first quarter weren’t able to submit school requirements.
Pero ‘yun kasing less than 1% sa 20 something million na leaners is also a significant number. Hindi naman dahil nakakapag-submit, natututo,
he said.
Some students and parents expressed their disapproval over the proposal. Even before it is finalized, it has been getting negative feedback and reaction from netizens.
