“Some schools will really have to postpone their openings kasi maraming aayusin at lilinisin (because they would have plenty of concerns to address),” Angara said.
“But those with none or with minimal damage, they would push through with the opening,” he added.
The Department of Education (DepEd) reported yesterday that about 90 schools all over the country suffered damage placed at P600 million, with reconstruction estimated to cost P630 million.
Angara said he would be issuing a list of areas where the opening of classes would be deferred, adding that he had ordered DepEd regional directors to work with principals to determine the readiness of schools for the opening of classes.
“We will not force the schools that were damaged and might have difficulties if they open their classes on Monday,” Angara said.
Earlier, DepEd reminded schools to provide students with instructional support should the students be forced to stay in evacuation centers for one week or more during times of disasters.
To prevent prolonged on-site class disruptions during the rainy season, DepEd also asked local government units to no longer use public schools as evacuation centers during typhoons and other calamities. While DepEd only allows the use of schools as evacuation for a maximum of 15 days, some regional and division offices go past this moratorium at the request of LGUs.
As of 2019, buildings being used for educational purposes outnumber actual structures dedicated to evacuees during natural calamities.
DepEd reported yesterday that 324 schools were being used as evacuation centers in Metro Manila, Calabarzon, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Region, Central Luzon and Western Visayas.
