THE PHILIPPINE Normal University will kick off its pilot implementation of face-to-face classes on the third week of March, a report by Torch Publications said.

The report said that PNU will conduct in-person learning in phases.

The first phase will include 52 students who will have classes in campus until the first week of April 2022.

The full implementation phase will begin by the first term of Academic Year 2022-2023.

An initial 127 students who will attend in-person classes were accepted by the PNU Hostel.

Physical classes will prioritize laboratory, skill, and field-based learning.

The Commission on Higher Education requires schools wanting to hold physical classes to have a high vaccination rate, retrofitted facilities, and approval from the concerned government agencies.
