Pres. Duterte supports expansion of limited face-to-face classes

DEPED OFFICIAL STATEMENT

January 19, 2022 – The Department of Education (DepEd) is elated that the Office of the President expressed its strong support and trust in the expansion of the limited face-to-face classes.

We believe this high confidence from President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and our stakeholders was due to the successful pilot implementation of face-to-face classes in 287 public and private schools nationwide from November 15 to December 20, 2021.

There was no recorded confirmed COVID-19 case among the 15,683 learners who participated in the pilot implementation of limited face-to-face classes.

Based on the evaluation conducted by the Department, the pilot implementation led to satisfactory results and positive feedback from our learners, teachers, and parents. We observed a high level of attendance and performance among learner participants. Our stakeholders felt safe against the virus throughout the implementation and were highly satisfied with the implementation of health and safety protocols and teaching and learning improvements brought by the face-to-face classes.

The implementation also inculcated a culture of shared responsibility among the national government, parents and learners, the Local Government Units (LGUs), teachers, school officials and staff, and other stakeholders in ensuring everyone’s safety and welfare.

We thank the Department of Health (DOH) and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) for assisting us in developing a responsive operational guideline on face-to-face learning delivery.

We also thank the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) for encouraging LGUs to support the pilot implementation.

Finally, we are also grateful to all the DepEd personnel, external partners, and parents of our learners for their cooperation to make this initial pilot of physical classes a successful one.

Moving forward, we will continue our efforts in support of the vaccination drive of the national government since immunization is still a key element in boosting the confidence of community members for the return of face-to-face classes.

Equipped with valuable lessons from the pilot phase, we call on our stakeholders to continue our Bayanihan as we look to ensure that more learners and teachers can experience a safe return to in-person learning.

Enero 19, 2022 – Ikinagagalak ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon (DepEd) ang pagpapahayag ng Office of the President ng ibayong suporta at tiwala sa pagpapalawak ng limitadong face-to-face classes.

Naniniwala kami na ang mataas na kumpiyansa ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte at ng aming mga stakeholders ay dahil sa matagumpay na pilot implementation ng face-to-face classes sa 287 pampubliko at pribadong paaralan sa buong bansa mula Nobyembre 15 hanggang Disyembre 20, 2021.

Walang naitala na kumpirmadong kaso ng COVID-19 mula sa 15,683 mag-aaral na lumahok sa pilot implementation ng limited face-to-face classes.

 

Batay sa isinagawang ebalwasyon ng Kagawaran, naghatid ang pilot implementation ng kasiya-siyang resulta at positibong feedback mula sa ating mga mag-aaral, guro, at mga magulang. Naobserbahan natin ang mataas na lebel ng attendance at performance mula sa mga kalahok na mag-aaral. Naramdaman ng ating mga stakeholders na sila ay ligtas laban sa virus sa kabuuan ng implementasyon at labis silang nasiyahan sa pagpapatupad ng health at safety protocols at mga pagpapabuti sa pagtuturo at pagkatuto na dulot ng face-to-face classes. 

 

Ikinintal din ng implementasyon ang kultura ng sama-samang responsibilidad sa pambansang pamahalaan, mga magulang at mga mag-aaral, mga Lokal na Pamahalaan (LGUs), mga guro, opisyal at mga kawani, at iba pang mga stakeholders sa pagtitiyak ng kaligtasan at kapakanan ng bawat isa.

 

Pinasasalamatan namin ang Department of Health (DOH) at ang Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) sa pagtulong sa atin upang mabuo ang isang responsive na operational guideline sa paghahatid ng face-to-face learning.

 

Nagpapasalamat din kami sa Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) sa paghikayat sa mga LGUs na suportahan ang pilot implementation.

Sa huli, nagpapasalamat din kami sa lahat ng DepEd personnel, external partners, at sa mga magulang ng ating mga mag-aaral para sa kanilang kooperasyon upang maging matagumpay ang paunang pisikal na klase.

Sa ating pagsulong, ipagpapatuloy natin ang mga pagsisikap sa pagsuporta sa vaccination drive ng pambansang gobyerno dahil ang pagbabakuna ang siyang susi sa pagpapalakas ng kumpiyansa ng mga miyembro ng komunidad para sa pagbabalik ng face-to-face classes.

 

Dala ang mga mahahalagang aral mula sa pilot phase, nananawagan kami sa aming stakeholders na ipagpatuloy ang  ating Bayanihan sa pagtitiyak natin na mas marami pang mga mag-aaral at mga guro ang makararanas ng ligtas na pagbabalik ng in-person learning.
