DepEd urges indoor end-of-school ceremonies

MANILA, Philippines — As the extreme heat is expected to continue this month, the Department of Education has advised all schools nationwide to hold their end-of-school-year or EOSY rites, such as graduation and moving-up ceremonies, indoors.

“Schools shall avoid scheduling their EOSY Rites during the time of the day when temperatures are at their highest,” it added. The DepEd also stressed that attendance to non-academic activities such as field trips, film showings, Junior-Senior Promenade and other similar school events, must not be compulsory and “shall not be imposed as graduation or completion requirements.”

The DepEd said the theme for SY 2023-2024 EOSY rites shall be “Kabataang Pilipino Para sa Matatag na Kinabukasan ng Bagong Pilipinas .” SY 2023-2024 was originally slated to end on June 15, but the DepEd last Feb. 19 issued DepEd Order No. 3, s. 2024 adjusting the end of the current school year to May 31. The same DepEd order also set the opening and closing dates for SY 2024-2025 as July 29, 2024 and May 16, 2025, respectively.
