Free tutorial sessions for at least three million students struggling with functional literacy will start this school year, the Department of Education (DepEd) announced yesterday.

- By BELLA CARIASO

This move is part of the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) program under Republic Act 12028, signed into law by President Marcos in October 2024.

"The ARAL program is a free tutorial program, so once we assess the children if they need help in Reading and Math, they will be included in the ARAL tutorial program," DepEd Undersecretary Gina Gonong said over dzBB.

The initiative will cover Reading and Math for Grades 1 to 10, and Science for Grades 3 to 10.

A rapid assessment by DepEd revealed that out of 24 million enrolled students, around three million have significant learning gaps.

To determine who needs support, an assessment will be held on June 16, the first day of classes.
