The department was supposed to present its assessment on Palawan’s readiness to conduct distance learning while the prohibition on face-to-face classes is still in place.
Approved during its 4th Special Session held June 24, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan is asking the provincial and national Inter-Agency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) to allow schools in areas in the province with no COVID-19 cases to proceed with their regular face-to-face classes.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones said in a post also Monday on DepEd's Facebook page that the face-to-face classes will remain prohibited until a vaccine against the virus is available in the country.
