MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Education Secretary Leonor Briones said Friday the dry run for classes under the \u201cnew normal\u201d would continue amid the postponement of school opening to October 5.<\/p>\n

“While the simulations are going on, we will continue to upskill teachers and prepare our learners for the new way, or as I would say, for the brave normal, which we are trying to create,” she said in Filipino.<\/p>\n

The Department of Education (DepEd) moved the opening of classes from August 24 to October 5 following the approval of President Rodrigo Duterte.<\/p>\n

Citing the simulations held by DepEd, Briones disclosed that at least two regions faced logistical challenges in preparing for learning materials due to the limitation of movement.<\/p>\n

“Na-limit ‘yung kanilang flexibility and readiness. And these two regions comprise about a third of our learner population. Malaking malaki, by the millions itong mga batang affected, so we made calculations and submitted these to the President<\/em>\u00a0(Their flexibility and readiness were hindered. These two regions comprise about a third of our learner population. The number of children affected runs by the millions, so we made calculations and submitted these to the President),” she said.<\/p>\n

The DepEd proposed the postponement of classes as early as August 6.<\/p>\n

The Office of the President issued a memorandum approving the recommendation.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Briones reiterated that face-to-face meetings between students and teachers would not be conducted in the upcoming school opening.<\/p>\n

She also defended the flexible learning, which she noted is not only done online.<\/p>\n

“Online is not the only methodology. We’ve had successful simulations, for example, in Davao de Oro, using radio. We’ve had successful simulations using television also,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
