MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education on Wednesday said there are now more than 20 million students enrolled for the new school year which begins next week.

 

That figure is 76.6% of the 26.22 million who enrolled last year, the first academic year carried out remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

 

DepEd officials have said they are looking to match the 2020 turnout and have urged parents not to wait for last minute in signing up their children.
