The Department of Education (DepEd) has authorized public and private schools to include other grade levels in the progressive expansion phase of face-to-face classes.
With the expansion phase, we would like to give that opportunity and chance to the other grade levels so that mag-umpisa na yung setting of the consciousness among our learners and teachers na talagang time will come na talagang school-bahay ang learning at teaching process natin,
Assistant Secretary Malcolm Garma said.

However, he noted that the inclusion of more grade levels should depend on the capacity of the participating qualified schools to adhere to health and safety protocols.
It’s really up to the schools, our divisions, and regions to make that right programming, the right combination of what grade levels can be included in the expanded limited face to face,
Gamma added.
According to DepEd’s recent data, 304 schools in Alert Level 1 or 2 areas are qualified to commence face-to-face classes, 12 of which in Region 2, 106 in Region 3, 54 in Region 4A, and 123 in the NCR. In addition, 59 pilot public and private schools in Region 4A, 8, 10, and NCR are continuing the implementation of limited physical classes.
Meanwhile Gamma also noted that only vaccinated teachers may join the expanded face-to-face classes, while vaccinated learners are preferred.
On the other hand, OIC-Undersecretary for Human Resource and Development Wilfredo Cabral said that unvaccinated teachers and personnel may be required to report onsite provided that they present negative RT/PCR or antigen test and for as long as there is no interaction with the learners and those teachers who teach inside the classrooms.
