DEPED conducts survey on September class opening

Education Secretary Jesli Lapus on Wednesday said the Department of Education is conducting a survey on a proposal to move the opening of the school year from June to September to avoid the rainy season.

Lapus said the new survey will determine if schoolteachers, parents and students favored the proposal. He said a 2003 survey showed that 70 percent of respondents favored the June opening.

"We want to avoid the typhoons in June as well as the hot season in April and May," he told DZMM. He added that school season in the northern hemisphere starts in September to avoid the summer season, which lasts from July to August.

Lapus said moving the school opening would also give more time for the construction of more classrooms.

Several lawmakers, including newly installed Senate President Manuel B. Villar, have proposed resetting the opening of classes from June to September due to the rainy season.

Villar’s bill on the change of the school calendar has remained unacted in the Senate. A counterpart version is also pending in the House of Representatives.

ok raman bisag kanus-a pa opening, pero unta di ma delay ang pag skol sa students if ilisan nila..

i guess, there is no difference if the opening of classes is rescheduled anywhere in the calendar. as long as the quality, committment and discipline of teachers and deped officials for the good of the students.

personally, i like the same schedule that we have now. if im a student, im not going to school on a very hot days of the year. that's why US, japan and other countries didn't choose their respective summer sessions for going to school.
