DepEd explains suspension of 55 Lumad schools

Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in a press conference, explained that the main reason for suspending the permits to operate of the schools owned by Salugpungan Ta’Tanu Igkanogon Community Learning Centers is that they failed to comply with the requirements set by the DepEd.

Earlier, the DepEd Region XI issued the suspension order to the affected Lumad schools based on the recommendation of National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon, Jr. who alleged that these schools are teaching left-leaning ideologies. “We have public schools nearby and we asked them to accept these learners and waive documentary requirements to ensure that their education will continue,” Briones said. Data from DepEd Region XI showed that at least 1, 142 learners are affected in the 55 schools. However, Malaluan clarified that this number might be reduced since some of the schools have been closed down long ago due to lack of enrollees and other internal issues.
