Education Undersecretary Tonisito Umali made the statement to clarify President Duterte’s order on Friday to postpone the Aug. 24 opening of classes in public and private elementary and high schools.
Distance learning does not involve in-person or conventional classroom meetings between students and teachers. Classes are conducted online via the internet or on-air through educational radio and television programs or through printed learning materials that are supposed to be home-delivered to the students.
Umali’s statement and clarification of the President’s order was in response to a letter from the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines on Friday to Education Secretary Leonor Briones saying that the nearly two-month postponement of the start of classes put their members in danger of incurring “severe financial losses.”
Since quarantine measures were put in place, CEAP has received reports of some of its members closing down due to low enrollment.
