The Department of Education has clarified that its plan to open the next school year on August 23 is just one of the options that would be presented to President Rodrigo Duterte, who will make the final decision on the matter.

"The August 23 start date proposal is only one of the options since DepEd is mandated to open the school year not later than the last day of August under the same law unless the President intervenes," the DepEd said in a statement.

"We will be proposing various options for the President’s consideration," the DepEd said without mentioning the other options. Last Tuesday, Education Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio said the agency was looking at starting classes for School Year 2021 to 2022 on August 23, shortening students' and teachers' vacation from 8 to 6 weeks.
