COLLEGE students will start having face-to-face classes in January next year, the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations said.

Only students who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to join face-to-face classes.

COCOPEA Managing Director Joseph Noel Estrada said that schools are preparing for the in-person classes to ensure the safety of students.

“Sisimulan na namin ang paghahanda para makapag-apply sa CHED (Commission on Higher Education) at LGU para tamang-tama naman sa pagsisimula ng second semester – next year January o February,” Estrada said.

Estrada said that they are helping CHED craft the guidelines for face-to-face classes.

“Kinuha ang inputs mula rin sa amin. Kapag na-approve na ang guidelines tuloy-tuloy na ang paghahanda,” he added.
