THE DEPARTMENT of Education will not limit class sizes when face-to-face classes fully resume in November.

“Hindi po kami naglagay ng exact size ng class dahil iba-iba po ‘yung situation ng lahat ng mga schools natin,” Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio said.

“There are no schools na pare-pareho sila exactly sa kanilang classrooms and sa kanilang teachers,” she added.

Duterte-Carpio said that social distancing will be implemented “whenever possible.”

“So, ang nilagay natin doon at in-approve din ng Pangulo during the cabinet meeting is that physical distancing shall be implemented whenever possible,” she said,

referring to DepEd Order No. 34, which mandated five-day face-to-face classes by November 2.

She said that the department laid down health and safety rules, including the removal of masks.

The Vice President said that eating together will be prohibited.

“We all eat facing the same direction. So hindi po magkaharap ‘yung mga tao,” she added.
