For struggling learners, summer brings a chance to catch up
Manila Bulletin
|April 25, 2026
For students who struggled to keep pace in class, this summer provides a second chance— giving learners an opportunity to catch up and move ahead.
The Department of Education (DepEd) is set to roll out expanded summer remediation programs from May 6 to June 3, aimed at helping learners recover from academic gaps and prepare for the next grade level.
Education Secretary Sonny Angara emphasized that the initiative is anchored on the principle that no learner should be left behind, with targeted interventions designed to support those who need it most.
“It is our duty to make sure that every student receives adequate support. DepEd is here to help our learners improve their knowledge,” Angara said.
“With the support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., we are ensuring that our programs have sufficient care and direction for the better future of our youth,” he added.
