MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education is telling its personnel to refrain from having interactions with students outside of schools in a new order that contains a long list of other things teaching and non-teaching staff should keep from doing.

 

Under Department Order No. 49 issued Wednesday, DepEd personnel are told to “avoid relationships, interaction, communication, including following social media with learners outside of the school setting, except if they are relatives.”

 

Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also education secretary, told reporters Friday that this is to minimize biases on the part of teachers and prevent “criminal” incidents from happening.
