Private schools are allowed to implement a blended learning modality and versatile teacher training to chop expenses amid the nationwide energy crisis, in line with the Department of Education (DepEd).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand the challenges our private schools are facing,\u201d Education Secretary Juan Edgardo \u201cSonny\u201d M. Angara said in a news release on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wish to offer them the flexibleness to administer rising operational costs while protecting the standard of learning,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
While face-to-face learning stays the \u201cdefault mode\u201d amongst schools, the DepEd memorandum dated Tuesday allows alternative arrangements for personal schools.<\/p>\n
The blended learning modality under the brand new memorandum allows private schools to proceed five-day face-to-face classes or mix them with distant synchronous or asynchronous learning, provided they follow the prescribed model and inform their Schools Division Office at the very least five days before implementation.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegional and division offices have been directed to watch how the adjusted learning modalities are implemented in private schools,\u201d the department said in the identical news release on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Reports from the private sector must include revised class schedules and plans to make sure learning continuity amongst students.<\/p>\n
The memorandum noted that personal school students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 can have once-a-week distant classes to \u201cprotect foundational literacy and numeracy development\u201d.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, junior and senior highschool students may join classes remotely two days and three days every week, respectively.<\/p>\n
Flexible formats, including online, asynchronous, or hybrid, for teacher training and skilled development are also encouraged by the agency to attenuate travel and energy consumption.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe flexibleness will remain in effect while the national energy emergency is in force,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. declared a State of National Emergency Crisis last Mar. 24, following the nation\u2019s lowering oil supply resulting from the continuing war within the Middle East. \u2014 Almira Louise S.
