To cope with government-declared class suspensions caused by heavy rains and flooding, the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) has urged its member schools to adopt flexible learning strategies and ensure learning continuity.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page Tuesday, CEAP encouraged schools to implement measures that would allow students to continue their lessons despite disruptions.

"We urge all CEAP member schools to institutionalize learning continuity and recovery plans to ensure education does not stop despite government-declared class suspensions," the association said.

"Let us adopt flexible learning strategies and remedial programs to keep students on track with their academic progress," it added.

CEAP further emphasized that schools should view the suspension of classes as opportunities to explore alternative methods.
