By November, DepEd expects that all public and private schools will be offering five days per week of in-person instruction.

After that date, no school will be permitted to implement purely distance learning or blended learning, with the exception of those that are implementing Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM). “Starting November 2, 2022, all public and private schools shall have transitioned to five days of in-person classes,” according to the order’s guidelines.

DepEd understood that students would experience stress and difficulties as a result of the switch to in-person classes.

DepEd Order No. 34 is among the first orders signed by Vice President Sara Duterte, our new DepEd Secretary.
