IATF backs moving class opening to late September as Philippines expands COVID19 lockdown
MANILA - The opening of classes should be moved to "late September," the Inter Agency Task Force against the coronavirus disease 2019 recommended Friday, as the Philippines expands its lockdown to curb the spread of the disease in the country.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones earlier said some schools were looking at opening classes in August, instead of June, to avoid large congregations and congested classrooms where the disease may easily spread. The Department of Education is also eyeing to deliver some lessons through television or radio should students remain restricted from traveling outside their homes due to the continued coronavirus lockdown.
