DepEd eyes Saturday classes
The Philippine Star
|May 14, 2024
The Department of Education (DepEd) is looking at holding classes for several Saturdays to make up for the reduction in the number of school days when the old school calendar is restored this coming school year (SY).
Speaking during yesterday’s hearing of the House of Representatives committee on basic education and culture, DepEd director for curriculum and instruction-bureau of Learning Delivery Leila Areola said the agency is planning to start SY 2024-2025 on July 29 and end it by March 31 next year.
Meanwhile, SY 2025-2026 shall start by June next year.
Because of this, Areola noted that the minimum number of school days would be reduced from the current 180 to around 163.
“We still need to be consulting our teachers and our learners, because the aggressive shift will be reducing the school year to something like 163,” she said.
To make up for the reduction in school days, the DepEd is studying the possibility of holding classes on certain Saturdays.
