CHED REGION 2 PREPARES FOR EXPANDED F2F CLASSES

/ 27 November 2021

THE COMMISSION on Higher Education in Region 2 is preparing for the expansion of limited face-to-face classes next year.

CHED Regional Director Julieta Paras said that they are in coordination with local government units for the holding of physical classes.

Paras said that they are also considering school-based vaccination to increase the inoculation rate in schools.

Having a high vaccination rate is one of the conditions laid down by CHED for the conduct of in-person classes. The other requirements are retrofitted facilities and permission from local government units.

The Inter-Agency Task Force Against Covid19 said that schools under Alert Levels 1, 2, and 3, can conduct limited in-person learning.

However, classroom capacity will be at 50 percent.
