MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday directed the Department of Education (DepEd) to cancel the planned resumption of face-to-face classes in areas deemed low risk for the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in January 2021.<\/p>\n

Duterte gave the latest directive after a new strain of Covid-19, which was allegedly more infectious, has been detected in the United Kingdom (UK) and has already been reported in other neighboring countries like Malaysia.<\/p>\n

In his meeting with the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) and infectious diseases experts, Duterte said he could not put the lives of learners at risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have allowed the face-to-face classes as pilot projects all over the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m calling back the order and I will not allow face-to-face classes of children until we are through with this. We have to, I said, we have to know the nature of the germ that we are confronting.\u00a0Wala pa tayong alam<\/em>\u00a0(We know nothing yet). I cannot take the risk of allowing the children.<\/p>\n

\u201d<\/p>\n

Duterte admitted that it would be a \u201cdisaster,\u201d should he allow the planned resumption of face-to-face classes to push through in January next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would be a disaster actually. So (we have to be) mindful of that: I am canceling the order I gave a few days ago \u2013 a few weeks ago \u2013 to Secretary (Leonor Magtolis) Briones of the Education Department to suspend everything, all activities of children, especially\u00a0\u2018yung<\/em>\u00a0(the) face-to-face classes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On December 14, Duterte gave his nod to the proposed conduct of a dry run of face-to-face classes in select schools in areas that will be considered at low risk for Covid-19.<\/p>\n

In a statement sent to Palace reporters, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Briones would heed Duterte\u2019s fresh directive.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn her part, DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones will implement the President\u2019s instruction to recall limited face-to-face classes,\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n

The DepEd was supposed to start the pilot implementation of face-to-face classes in areas categorized as low-risk areas under modified general community quarantine in January next year.<\/p>\n

Before Duterte\u2019s latest order, the DepEd planned to make the participation of learners in the pilot study to be voluntary with the requisite permit issued by the parents.<\/p>\n

The proposed face-to-face classes will also not be held for the full week schedule and with reduced class size to observe proper physical distancing within the classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
