The Department of Education shall continue its feeding program despite the health risks brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
DepEd Undersecretary Annalyn M. Sevilla said on Monday that schools will not be having the traditional feeding program this school year. Instead, they will consider the local health situation for each school and will depend on it in providing healthy foods to around 1.7 million students nationwide.
“Kung dati nagluluto ang teacher at mga magulang, tapos ang mga bata habang nasa eskuwelahan ay kumakain, ngayon, ito ay ide-deliver sa bahay,” said Sevilla.
Considering the health risks due to the pandemic, each school may conduct its own feeding procedure that will not compromise the health of both teachers and students.
“Depende sa public health situation ng ating mga eskuwelahan. So kung ano ang compliant sa minimum health standard,” she added.
