MANILA, Philippines —  The Department of Education (DepEd) said that schools must not use the end-of-school-year (EOSY) rites as political forums for candidates running for higher office as well as political parties.

 

"EOSY rites are conducted in a solemn and dignified manner and they shall not be used as a political forum," DepEd Assistant Secretary Alma Ruby Torio said in an online briefing on Friday.

 

Under a department order issued in 2018, all DepEd officials, teaching and non-teaching staff are not allowed to engage in any electioneering or partisan political activity.
