Inanunsyo ng Department of Education nitong Linggo, April 28, na kanselado ang face-to-face classes sa mga pampublikong paaralan sa buong bansa para sa araw ng Lunes April 29 at Martes, April 30.
Ito ay kasunod ng matinding init na nararanasan sa bansa at paparating na transport strike na inanunsyo ng transport group na PISTON.
Ayon sa post ng DepEd:
ADVISORY
28 April 2024 – In view of the latest heat index forecast of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the announcement of a nationwide transport strike, all public schools nationwide shall implement ASYNCHRONOUS CLASSES/DISTANCE LEARNING on April 29 and 30, 2024.
Likewise, teaching and non-teaching personnel in all public schools shall not be required to report to their respective stations.
However, activities organized by Regional and Schools Division Offices, such as Regional Athletic Association Meets and other division or school level programs, to be conducted on the aforementioned dates may push through as scheduled, provided that measures for the safety of all participants have been carefully considered.
Finally, private schools shall not be covered by this advisory but shall have the option to implement the same.
Thank you.
Ibigsabihin nito ay hahayaan munang magsagawa ng asynchronous classes at distance learning gaya ng modular activities ang mga mag-aaral upang hindi na nila kailanganin pang lumabas at pumasok sa paaralan sa gitna ng matinding sikat ng araw at init ng panahon.
Nilinaw din ng DepEd na hindi kasama sa advisory ang mga pribadong paaralan ngunit maaari ring magsagawa ng parehong learning method ang mga ito.
