Quezon City has approved a P2.9 billion budget to implement the “blended learning” style of classes as face-to-face learning remains suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. | KHallareINQ

“We are adjusting our budget to ensure that our children will continue learning despite the sudden shift from traditional to alternative learning modalities,” she said in a statement.

“The city plans to assign gadgets to all public schools and other educational facilities that teachers can share through a shifting schedule,” Medalla said, adding that they are also planning to improve or increase internet connectivity in schools. The local government unit also said it plans to provide “school supplies and care packages, which include goggles, face masks, alcohol, and other necessary items that may protect students.”
