Limited Face-to-Face
The Department of Education initially set the last day of the pilot run on January 31, 2022. The
Department of Education (DepEd) said the pilot run of limited face-to-face classes in the
country will conclude by the end of December so health officials can assess whether the agency
could already start the expansion phase. Education Secretary Leonor Briones made the
announcement at the Bayanihan Bakunahan culmination activity in Mandaluyong on Thursday,
December 9. “Tatapusin na namin itong pilot na ito by December para ma-assess namin ang
success. But so far very successful naman,” she said. The DepEd earlier scheduled the end of
the pilot run on January 31, 2022. Some senators, however, had urged the department to
shorten its timetable as they were worried DepEd’s timeline would prolong school closure. In a
separate interview with ANC’s Headstart on Thursday, Education Assistant Secretary Malcolm
Garma said DepEd could already consider adding more grade levels and schools to start limited
face-to-face classes. “We are optimistic that we could start the expansion phase by January.
That’s when we’re going to consider the other grade levels to be included, not anymore on the
pilot but really on the limited face-to-face classes,” he said.
The pilot run of limited face-to-face classes include only the following grade levels:
Kindergarten: 12 students
Grades 1 to 3: 16 students
Technical vocational livelihood students in senior high school: 12 students
Senior high school: 20 students
The DepEd prioritized Kindergarten and Grades 1 to 3 because students in these levels are in
their formative years and they need more guidance from their teachers. Senior high school
students were also chosen because some of their subjects require “hands-on” training.
To date, Garma said some 272 schools in the country have joined the pilot run of face-to-face
classes, which started on November 15.
