LIMITED face-to-face classes at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines will resume at the start of Academic Year 2022-2023, the Commission on Higher Education said.

CHED Chairman Prospero De Vera III said that PUP will not conduct onsite learning for the remaining months of A.Y. 2021-2022.

“Ang Polytechnic University of the Philippines, sinabi sa akin ni president Manuel Muhi noong isang araw, ang kanilang paggamit ng option ng limited face-to-face classes ay next school year na nila gagawin, hindi this school year,” he said.

He added that because PUP’s student population is high, the university will focus on improving its online and offline education delivery systems.

“Sa school year 2022-2023 na sila magli-limited face-to-face dahil ang kanilang pinagtutuunan ng panahon ay palakasin at pagandahin iyong kanilang online and offline delivery ng education,” De Vera said.

“Para sa kanila, mas efficient na pagandahin iyong flexible learning through online and offline option kaysa problemahin iyong pangangailangan ng limited face-to-face,” he added.

Since the pandemic started, PUP implemented a new learning scheme called Flexible Technology – Enhanced Learning to enable students to choose their mode of learning depending on their resources.
