“We are dedicated to creating opportunities for all students to thrive,” said DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara in a statement.

With a focus on enhancing literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills, DepEd said the initiative seeks to provide students with additional learning opportunities during the summer break.

“Our summer programs are designed to provide the necessary support and resources to help learners overcome challenges and achieve their full potential,” he added.

DepEd has officially launched its Summer Programs for 2025, which integrate a whole-of-community approach to strengthen foundational and grade-level competencies among learners across key stages in public schools nationwide.

DepEd explained that the Summer Programs will focus on addressing gaps in reading and mathematics by offering a mix of interactive tutorials and targeted interventions.

The reading component will concentrate on phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, while the mathematics component will emphasize number sense, basic operations, and problem-solving, DepEd stressed.
