MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 An Education official said Monday the Department of Education (DepEd) is preparing for the limited face-to-face classes in areas with no reported coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) infections.<\/p>\n

“At the moment, there are no face-to-face classes but the DepEd is really preparing for it,” DepEd Undersecretary Tonisito Umali said in a television interview.<\/p>\n

Admitting that there are some errors in the self-learning modules (SLMs) distributed to the students early this month, Umali requested understanding from the public over the SLMs, which skipped quality assurance.<\/p>\n

“Itatama po natin yan. Tayo ay nagsisikap na maging perpekto ang lahat. Sisikapin po natin kahit hindi perpekto ang ating sitwasyon<\/em>\u00a0(We’ll correct the errors. We’re doing our best to make everything perfect. We’ll do everything even if our situation is not perfect),\u201d Umali said.<\/p>\n

Despite the few errors spotted on the modules, Umali told parents not to worry because “the 667 million SLMs, in general, had been printed correctly”.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 5, public school classes nationwide opened following the DepEd’s Blending Learning Program and about 22.5 million learners in public schools study through modules, radio, television, and the internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
