THE Department of Education (DepEd) 7 said private schools and non-DepEd schools in the region which intend to start their classes ahead of the general school opening for the school year (SY) 2021-2022 may already do so provided they have acquired a special permit from DepEd 7.
“Actually, (it’s) dependent on the private schools as to when will be the opening of their classes for SY 2021-2022 as long as it is within the provisions of the law,” said DepEd 7 Director Salustiano Jimenez.
