"In view of the latest heat index forecast of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration and the announcement of a nationwide transport strike, all public schools nationwide shall implement asynchronous classes/distance learning on April 29 and 30, 2024," DepEd said yesterday.
Public school teachers and personnel are not required to report to schools, DepEd added.
Activities organized by Regional and Schools Division Offices such as athletic meets and other programs could still push through as scheduled "provided that measures for the safety of all participants have been carefully considered," the agency noted.
Private schools may implement the same measures during the same period, DepEd said.
Onsite classes have been suspended for most of April due to intense heat that made classroom conditions too harsh for learning.
DepEd has since instructed schools to implement alternative delivery modes should the extreme heat render classroom instruction unbearable for students and teachers.
