SUCs in F2F setup to increase as flexible learning stays: CHED

F2F LEARNING HIKE. Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Chairperson Prospero "Popoy" De Vera III says they are expecting a higher number of state universities and colleges to open in-person learning options in the next semester, at a virtual press briefing on Wednesday (June 22, 2022). He, however, assured the public that flexible learning deliveries will be maintained. (Screengrab) MANILA - A flexible learning setup will be retained in the upcoming school opening for tertiary education, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) said Wednesday. In a virtual press conference, CHED Chairperson Prospero "Popoy" De Vera III said they are expecting an increase in the number of universities opening face-to-face learning options from August to September. CHED's data for the previous semester last January showed a 32-percent participation of state universities and colleges (SUCs) in the in-person learning delivery. "These numbers will dramatically increase, I assure you when the school year opens because they will be able to prepare their plans already since [coronavirus disease 2019] is under control and there are no surges... in the coming weeks," he said. However, he said they cannot come up with a definite figure since it falls under the discretion of SUCs whether or not to implement an in-person learning setup. "Mahirap kasi na mag-shift na nagsimula ka nang online, bigla kang (It's hard to shift from online, then suddenly) magfe-face-to-face in two to three weeks time, because the scheduling of activities is very difficult to immediately adjust... The schools will decide what is the best option. It is not logical to require face-to-face in the classroom, because there are already universities, even before Covid, that are already doing online classes," he said. SUCs are bound to adhere to the health guidelines set by the CHED, the health department, and the Inter-agency task force, as well as the requisition of the local government units. Moreover, he recognized the remarkable vaccination turnout in higher education institutions (HEIs). "Eighty-nine percent na pala (already), almost 90 percent na, while the national vaccination rate for the general population has just exceeded 70 percent, for students it's close to 80 percent already. The high vaccination rate in higher education allowed us to slowly open classes, and we also opened the sports competition already," he added. He also mentioned that through vaccination rates and faithful adherence to guidelines, they have secured a zero-infection rate among their school athletes. To sum up, De Vera noted that despite challenges brought by the pandemic, the administration was able to set higher participation in tertiary education, reaching up to 33 percent. "We have produced the first batch of graduates who did not pay any tuition or miscellaneous fees last year, so from start to finish, we have produced graduates who did not pay tuition. So right now, this coming school year, we expect 1.9 million Filipinos in more than 200 public universities not to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees, another 500,000 will get tertiary education subsidies, and a little over 200,000 will get Tulong Dunong. These numbers are in a sense staggering because we are the only developing country in the world, who have tried, or who have implemented free higher education," he said. (PNA) }
