STUDENTS from the Technological University of the Philippines called on school authorities to suspend classes during the lockdown in the National Capital Region.

They said that students and professors should be given a break from juggling learning and survival.

The students decried that the university issued a memorandum regarding the conduct of classes but it was merely an “advisory.”

“Ang inilabas na order ng administrasyon kaninang umaga na nagsasaad ng “NO SYNCHRONOUS ACTIVITIES AND CLASSES on April 5 to 11″ ay isa lamang ‘advisory’, o ‘rekomendasyon’ sa mga departamento kung kaya patuloy pa rin ang synchronous classes at pagbibigay ng exams ng iilang mga propesor,” Kabataan Partylist TUP said on Facebook.

“Isang malaking dagok para sa mga estudyante at propesor ng mga unibersidad na sabay na harapin ang suliranin sa kabuhayan at online classes,” it added.
