The LCP is the major response and the Department’s commitment in ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of the learners, teachers, and personnel in the time of COVID-19 pandemic while finding ways for education to continue amidst the crisis for the upcoming school year.
DepEd have delayed the opening of classes to ensure that learners and teachers are given time and be properly equipped to adjust to this new learning environment. Policies will also be continuously guided by science and by the advice of health experts. Education can and must continue but only under the conditions and health protocols set by the DOH and the World Health Organization (WHO).
On school opening, DepEd emphasizes that it will not necessarily mean that teachers and learners will undergo the traditional in-classroom set-up by August this year. In the LCP, the choice and contextualization of the learning delivery modality of schools will depend on the local COVID-19 situation as well as access to certain learning platforms.
Preventive measures will be put in place to secure the health and well-being of our personnel and our learners under this new normal. ###
