/ 19 July 2021

THE DEPARTMENT of Education in Region 7 expects at least 500,000 enrollees for School Year 2021-2022.

DEPED-7 Director Salustiano Jimenez said they have been accommodating enrollees since March.

He did not give an exact figure of enrolled students in Central Visayas but said that it was “more or less 500,000.”

“When we had the early enrollment last March, whenever parents and/or guardians enrolled their children, we accommodate,” he said.

Classes will start on September 13, giving students a two-month break.
