Updated WED · JAN 19, 2022 · 12:16 PM

The Department of Education (DepEd) plans to expand face-to-face classes to more grade levels starting February in areas under Alert Levels 1 and 2.

Initially, only Kindergarten to Grade 3 and Senior High School students participated in pilot runs; now DepEd aims for a wider rollout.

Education Secretary Leonor Briones recommended the expansion during a presentation on Monday night.

President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the plan with no objections, provided local government units agree and parents consent.
