OFFICIALS of the Commission on Higher Education inspected the Marinduque State College to assess its readiness to conduct face-to-face classes.

The officials inspected the school’s classrooms, canteen and other facilities.

The MSC retrofitted its facilities to comply with requirements to safeguard the welfare of students and staff.

“With the aim of addressing the critical need for in-person interaction particularly in skills-based subjects, MSC sought to forge ahead and initiate a program for the partial introduction of face-to-face interaction, particularly in vital sectors such as the health sciences, with the hope that other programs will gradually follow,” the college said on Facebook.

MSC applied to hold limited face-to-face classes for its nursing and midwifery programs.
