Classes in public elementary and high schools resumed yesterday after almost two weeks of holiday break.

While most college and university students are still enjoying their semestral break, students in public grade schools had to go back to classes, as Jan. 2 was not declared a holiday.

"Classes resume today. Learners, as you welcome the New Year, prepare yourselves for new experiences and knowledge," the Department of Education (DepEd) said yesterday in Filipino in a Facebook post.

The agency cited in its post DepEd Order 009 s. 2024 (academic calendar for school year 2024-2025), which set the Christmas break in all public elementary and high schools on Dec. 21 and the resumption of classes on Jan.2. The same order set the end of classes on April 15.
