There will be no suspension of classes when public transportation groups hold a transport holiday next week, the Department of Education has announced.
Asked if classes will be suspended in areas affected by the strike, DepEd spokesperson Michael Poa said, "there will be no suspension of classes."
“Those who will not be able to attend in-person classes should be allowed to continue learning through alternative delivery modes,” Poa said. Some transport groups announced on Monday that they will hold a transport holiday in the National Capital Region and Region 3 from March 6 to 12 to express their opposition to the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program.
According to a report on GTV’s Balitanghali, most of the members of the said groups are jeepneys and UV Express drivers and operators. The PUV modernization program aims to replace traditional jeepneys with vehicles powered by more environment-friendly fuels.
