Schools to deliver alternate modes of learning during calamities
The Philippine Star|December 28, 2024
While in-person classes may still be suspended, schools are now mandated to implement alternative modes of delivering lessons to students in times of natural and man-made calamities to minimize learning disruptions.
By ELIZABETH MARCELO

Under Department of Education Order No. 022, s. 2024, signed by Secretary Sonny Angara on Dec. 23, all public schools and DepEd-operated community learning centers shall be required to come up with their respective Learning and Service Continuity Plans (LSCPs), which shall be automatically implemented in times of calamities.

The DepEd said an LSCP must include the school's identification of the suitable Alternative Delivery Modes (ADMs) for different types of disasters and emergencies, "considering local circumstances."

Among the ADMs that may be implemented are online classes, modular distance learning, blended approaches or any other alternative modes of delivering lessons.
