THE PHILIPPINE National Police and the Commission on Higher Education are coordinating to establish lines of communication with school authorities in preparation for the resumption of face-to-face classes in select universities and colleges nationwide.

CHED is expected to make an announcement soon on the conduct of limited physical classes in Higher Educational Institutions.

The PNP will provide assistance to HEIs to ensure that minimum health requirements are followed inside school premises.

“We will deploy our people outside the premises of these schools, once classes resume,” PNP Chief Dionardo Carlos said.

The PNP urged students and parents to remain vigilant against common street crimes that usually happen near colleges and universities.

On November 15, the Department of Education started the pilot testing of limited face-to-face classes in 100 public schools nationwide.
