AFTER two years of distance learning, law students of the Ateneo de Manila University resumed limited face-to-face classes this week.

The school posted photos on Facebook of the students following health and safety protocols such as physical distancing, wearing of face masks, and monitoring system called Blue Pass.

“With the easing of the Alert Levels, and upon coordination with the Makati LGU and the Legal Education Board, the University gave a go-signal for the ALS to conduct a pilot, non-mandatory basis, limited hybrid face-to-face classes for selected classes during the 2nd Semester, AY 2021-22,” it said.

“It is hoped that these pilot, non-mandatory, limited hybrid face to face classes will better prepare the Ateneo Law School to implement this method of instruction on a school-wide basis beginning AY 2022-2023,” it added.

The pandemic task force has allowed higher educational institutions to hold face-to-face classes at 100% classroom capacity in areas under Alert Level 1.

However, only fully vaccinated students and teaching and non-teaching personnel are allowed to participate in physical classes.
