Wala naman tayong casualty at saka positive naman ang assessment mismo ng learners, the parents, local governments, and of course our school officials,
she said.
Assistant Secretary Malcolm Garma also said learners and teachers are very excited and enthusiastic about the resumption of limited face-to-face classes.
They are now very active, despite the absence in two years na walang face-to-face. We also have learners who can write well, and there are also those who can read, but of course, there will be those who are left behind. And this is what the teachers must do. They need to improve those who are already good and provide intervention to learners needing intervention,
he explained.
Briones further added that they working closely with the Department of Health (DOH) to discuss measures of relaxation for further expansion, especially with the growing call from the government’s economic team to boost the opening of face-to-face classes.
Moreover, Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan said the DOH is considering accelerating the pediatric vaccination rate to allow relaxation of guidelines.
