Another call for face-to-face classes

Just recently, Senator Francis Tolentino appealed to the Department of Education to consider conducting face-to-face classes to selected areas with minimal risks or cases of the virus. According to him, this mode is essential to better serve the learners since distance learning poses disadvantages when it comes to the teaching-learning process.

Now, the Federation of Associations of Private School Administrators (FAPSA) made another appeal to the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) to allow private schools in areas with low to no COVID-19 cases to conduct face-to-face classes starting August 24.

“Some of FAPSA members located in provinces declared GCQ and MCGQ by IATF as well as those hardly affected provinces should be allowed to hold F2F classes even for two days a week and these administrators commit to observe protocols given by IATF, DoH, and DepEd,” said FAPSA President Eleazardo Kasilag.

Kasilag vows to strictly follow the protocols set by the IATF, DOH, and DepEd should they be allowed to conduct face-to-face classes in areas with minimal risks like private schools in provinces.
