The Department of Education (DepEd) included the resumption of face-to-face (F2F) classes as part of its contribution to the first 100 days of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
The Department of Health (DOH) said that teachers and students undergoing face-to-face classes are still mandated to wear face masks amid the Inter-Agency Task Force of Emerging Infectious Diseases’ (IATF) recommendation to only use it voluntarily in open spaces by year-end.
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in Central Visayas has urged college students to get Covid-19 jabs in preparation for the possible resumption of face-to-face (F2F) classes.
The presidential spokesman stressed that face-to-face classes in medical and allied medical degrees earlier allowed by the country’s pandemic task force would not be affected by Duterte’s recent order.
Classes allowed to hold in-person meetings are for lab courses and hospital-based internship/clerkship/practicum.
