DepEd said that the supplemental policy will be issued “after conducting a series of consultations with different education and child rights stakeholders” last year. It will take into consideration the “lessons and insights learned” from one-quarter of implementation of the Basic Education-Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) this school year.
