STUDENTS of the Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology decried the decision of the school administration to not push through with face-to-face classes.

EARIST on Wednesday announced the suspension of in-person classes on its campuses until further notice.

“With the utmost consideration of the health and well-being of the students and teaching and non-teaching personnel, all classes will be through online until further notice,” the school said.

The suspension covers EARIST’s Main Campus in Manila and Cavite.

It explained that it decided to suspend the conduct of in-person classes to ensure that it is compliant to the guidelines set by the Commission on Higher Education.

The announcement garnered negative comments from students who said they already invested on face-to-face classes.

“Kung alam naman pong ‘di pa ready ang EARIST from the first place sana ‘di na po pinaasa ang mga istudyante, marami pong nag-stop ng work at bumiyahe pa galing province. kakadissapoint po,” one netizen wrote on the school’s announcement.

“PABAGO-BAGO HO KAYO NG DESISYON. May mga classmates akong nagdorm na, may mga umalis sa trabaho kasi f2f na, may mga nakabili na rin agad ng mga gamit. Paano po iyon???,” another added.
