MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education said Tuesday no COVID-19 cases have been reported so far in schools with limited physical learning, but noted challenges among participants in following health protocols in classrooms.

 

Education Assistant Secretary Malcolm Garma in a briefing said 7,324 Filipino students have returned to public schools, the first time since the pandemic hit. 

 

DepEd’s two-month pilot study allows for 100 public and 20 private schools to begin limited in-person classes and more are expected to be included soon.
