CAMIGUIN (PIA)--One hundred percent of the public and private schools in Camiguin resumed the five-day in-person classes, November 2, 2022, almost three years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Department of Education (DepEd) Camiguin reported 25,441 learners from 66 public and 13 private schools in the province, an increase of 435 learners from 25,006 on the first day of school for SY 2022-2023, August 2022.
Schools Division Superintendent Edgardo Abanil said the return of mandatory face-to-face classes in public and private schools starting November 2 has been orderly.
"Right now, the resumption of our classes is going well so far. We are also awaiting feedback from the school heads so that if there are any challenges encountered, they can be addressed immediately," he said.
With the resumption of full in-person classes, DepEd issued DepEd Order No. 48, s. 2022, and Amending DepEd Order No. 039, s. 2022 (Health and Safety Protocols considering the COVID-19 Pandemic), which states that students and teachers may now opt to remove their face masks even in classrooms, in accordance with the existing national policy.
