THE DEPARTMENT of Education stressed students who will join the limited face-to-face classes will be fully supervised.

DepEd Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan said teachers are going to closely attend to students and will be supervised during break time.

He added schools should ensure that proper physical distancing and ventilation shall be observed.

The pilot run of the in-person classes is set to begin next month on selected schools.

Meanwhile, Malaluan emphasized classes during pre-pandemic will be different from the incoming classes.

“The face-to-face activities will not be what we know pre-pandemic. These will be selected activities where there is the greatest benefit for such activities for example,” he said.
