The Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines, in a statement issued Wednesday, Feb. 24, expressed concern on the renewed rejection of President Duterte to the proposal of the Department of Education to pilot test in-classroom learning in low-risk areas.
Basilio noted that many countries around the world have found ways to enable the safe return to schools. “It is plainly lazy and unimaginative to depend our education on the government’s delayed and uncertain vaccination program,” he added. However, Basilio noted that ACT has already submitted its recommendations to the DepEd on how to prepare for the gradual resumption of limited and voluntary face-to-face classes in low-risk areas this school year which include: competent risk assessment of schools; installation of health and sanitation facilities; retrofitting of classrooms; hiring of school health personnel; mass testing for teachers and learners; and reduction of class size and implementation of minimum health standards.
Basilio noted that the Duterte government also has to prioritize the education sector by rolling out a clear plan for the safe and gradual return to schools of teachers and learners in the next months – and in the greater part of the country by 2022.
