MANILA, Philippines (Updated 6:41 p.m.) — Ahead of students' return to face-to-face classes, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday asserted that blended learning can still be done in some areas given the litany of issues that might arise.

 

At a Cabinet meeting, Marcos was quoted as saying that the national government would be forced to continue carrying out blended learning if key concerns in the education sector, such as the supply of teachers and stable internet, are not addressed. 

 

In a statement sent to reporters, Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles said that the issue of whether DepEd should do away with blended learning beyond October was raised during the meeting, considering the challenges that the department is facing.
