DepEd orders distance learning on April 15 and 16

The Department of Education (DepEd) on Friday ordered public schools to hold asynchronous classes, or distance learning, from April 15 to April 16 to allow students to complete pending requirements.

“Teaching and nonteaching personnel in all public schools shall not be required to report to their respective stations,” the DepEd said in its order.

Activities organized by Regional and Schools Division Offices, however, are excluded from the directive and may still proceed as scheduled.
