The Philippine Star
|April 14, 2024
Local chief executives and local education supervisors have the authority to modify school hours due to the prevailing extreme heat, according to the Metro Manila Council (MMC).
"Based on our conversation with a representative from the DepEd (Department of Education), it is within the authority of the mayor and the Division of City Schools to determine school time," MMC president Francis Zamora said during a media briefing at the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) last April 12.
Mayors and city schools division superintendents shall also determine how many class shifts will be made depending on the student population in a city or municipality, he added.
Even school principals can suspend classes anytime he or she finds the heat inside classrooms is no longer bearable, he noted.
