ACT Chairperson Vlademir Quetua emphasizes that the school year's start date, be it August or June, won't shield students from extreme weather events
MANILA, Philippines – Just days into the new school year, students and teachers in the country were greeted with class suspensions due to the recent onslaught of Super Typhoon Goring and severe Tropical Storm Hanna .
Nevertheless, DepEd indicated that the possibility of resuming classes in June may not be feasible for the next three to five school years. Agbayani said that the scorching heat during the months of March to May make her worry about the safety and well-being of her children as they walk to school in the blistering heat.
Meanwhile, throughout the years 1948 to 2022, the country experienced an average of two to three tropical cyclones during the months of August, September, and October within its designated Philippine Area of Responsibility . In April, multiple cases of schools canceling classes were reported, attributed to the extreme heat, resulting in some students being sent to clinics and experiencing nosebleeds.
