Over 90 public schools are set to postpone the opening of classes due to the onslaught of Super Typhoon Carina enhanced by Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, according to Education Secretary Sonny Angara.
According to the report of Super Radyo dzBB’s Mark Makalalad, among the cities which will move the opening of classes are Malabon and Valenzuela.
Public schools in Malabon City will open their classes on July 31 while those in Valenzuela City will move their class opening on August 5 instead of the earlier announced July 29 schedule.
According to Angara, the number of schools that will implement late opening of classes is expected to increase in the following days.
The Department of Education is still waiting for the reports of its regional directors with regard to the recommendation to postpone the opening of classes in their jurisdictions.
So far, the most affected public schools are recorded in the National Capital Region, Regions III, and IV.
Further, Angara said each public school has their own discretion on when to open their classes.
In a separate Super Radyo dzBB interview, Mayor Marcy Teodoro announced that the opening of classes in Marikina City is set on August 5 for all levels in public and private schools.—Hana Bordey/AOL, GMA Integrated News
