DepEd allows suspension of in-person classes and implement modular distance learning due to extremely hot weather
REITERATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING AS PROVIDED IN DEPED ORDER MO. 037., s. 2017
In consideration of the well-being of the learners affected by extreme climate conditions as they attend in-person classes, this Office reiterates DepEd Order No. 037, s. 2022, titled "Guidelines on the Cancellation or Suspension of Classes and Work in Schools in the Event of Natural Disasters, Power Outages/Power Interruptions, and Other Calamities." DO 037, s. 2022 provides for the implementation of modular distance learning in the event of canceled or suspended classes due to natural disasters, calamities, and human-induced hazards to ensure learning continuity and that learning competencies and objectives are met.
Additionally, and in relation to the announcement of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) last March 21, 2023, which marked the beginning of the warm and dry season in which warmer temperatures are expected, this Office reminds School Heads of their authority and responsibility, consistent with Rule VI, Section 6.1 of DepEd Order No. 01, s. 2003 or the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 9155, to suspend in-person classes and implement modular distance learning in cases of unfavorable weather and environment such as, but not limited to, extremely high temperatures which may considerably affect the conduct of classroom learning and put the learners' health and wellbeing at risk.
Schools Division Offices, through the Schools Division Superintendent, shall monitor schools implementing the said modality and shall submit a report on the aforementioned to the Regional Director.
For your information and appropriate action.
