Department of Education Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan
This was disclosed by Department of Education Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan during a Senate hearing on Wednesday, February 24, on updates about the pandemic’s impact to the basic education system, which included preparations for the return of face-to-face classes.
“I presume that it is not going to be completely a matter of choice in so far as teachers will be concerned, especially if it will be part of the protocol of the resumption of a generalized face-to-face classes,” Malaluan said.
Before this, Senator Nancy Binay inquired if the DepEd has already conducted a study about the willingness of teachers to get inoculated against the novel coronavirus disease.
