MANILA, Philippines — The Teachers Dignity Coalition (TDC) said they are not in favor of the August 22 start date for classes because this will mean that teachers will not get enough rest before the school year starts. 

 

The Department of Education (DepEd) earlier said that the incoming school year will officially start on Aug. 22, 2022 and end on July 7, 2023, according to the agency's Department Order No. 34.

 

It added that private schools and state universities and colleges that offer basic education may follow the new calendar, "provided they start classes not earlier than the first Monday of June and not later than the last day of August."
