MANILA – The Department of Education (DepEd) said Friday it will increase the number of participating schools in the pilot implementation of face-to-face (F2F) classes following the approval of the Office of the President.
In a statement, the DepEd reported there are more schools qualified to be included in the pilot list based on the assessment it has conducted together with the Department of Health (DOH).
“From the latest transmittal of DOH, 484 out of the 638 passed their granular risk assessment as minimal or low-risk. We have also received several appeals from LGUs, including NCR, to have their schools in their jurisdiction selected in the pilot implementation,” it said.
The DepEd noted additional schools will be evaluated based on readiness and DOH’s assessment of their Covid-risk level.
“We will announce the additional pilot schools once validated. The expansion of the number of pilot schools will allow a greater degree of experience among all our regions that will serve us well for the expanded phase of face-to-face classes,” it said.
The 100 public schools, which were identified by DepEd on Wednesday, will proceed with their pilot face-to-face classes on November 15.
