ONLY students who are vaccinated against Covid19 will be allowed to join face-to-face classes, the Commission on Higher Education said.

CHED Chairman Prospero De Vera III said that unvaccinated students can continue to join online classes.

“’Yung mga hindi bakunado puwede sila mag-aral sa pamamagitan ng online classes. Ang policy ng CHED sa lahat ng higher education institutions ay flexible learning policy pa rin,” De Vera said.

He added that higher education institutions can decide whether to hold full online classes.

“‘Yung pamantasan ‘yung magde-decide ng tamang mix ng face-to-face, online, at offline. ’Yun ’yung kanilang option. Puwede silang mag-full face-to-face, full online. Puwede ring maging online plus face-to-face . . . depende sa pangangailangan ng pamantasan at kakayanan ng mga estudyante at faculty,” he said.

On Friday, Malacañang announced that the Covid19 task force allowed the Higher Education Institutions to conduct face-to-face classes in areas under Alert level 1.
