THE Department of Education warned that it will impose sanctions against teachers who will violate its “bare wall policy.”

DepEd Spokesman Michael Poa, however, gave assurances that the department will not immediately penalize violators.

“Kung merong hindi sumunod, we will analyze it on a case to case basis and maybe speak with the school head kung ano’ng nangyari pero hindi naman tayo agad agaran magpapataw,” he said.

“Kung meron hindi sumunod, we will find out first before natin kasuhan ang teacher.”

The Department issued a memorandum banning the hanging of posters, decoration, or visual aids on classroom walls.

Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio earlier personally removed posters in some classrooms in a school in Daval del Sur.
