The Department of Education Regional Office 8 (DepEd-8) is already implementing ways on what the schools can do if daytime temperatures continue to rise due to the early onset of El Niño.

According to Information Officer Jasmine Fransisco Calzita of Deped-8, the office had already started informing schools of the necessary steps that they can do in cases where temperatures get extreme, for extreme temperatures can have negative effects on the learners.

Calzita also added that it will still depend on the teachers if they will suspend classes due to extreme daytime temperatures. “The teachers will still have the final say because they are the ones who are with the learners, and together with the learners, they can also gauge how hot it is already,” Calzita said.

Calzita emphasized that if temperatures get extremely high, a school can implement modular learning for the learners.

Modular learning is one of the ways education of the learners can continue amidst unfavorable weather conditions.
