DepEd won't limit class size for in-person learning

(UPDATE) VICE President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio emphasized that the Department of Education (DepEd) will not limit the class size for in-person learning.

'We did not put an exact class size because the situations in schools differ. We indicated in DepEd Order 34, and as approved by the President when presented during the Cabinet Meeting, that physical distancing will be implemented whenever possible,' she said in an interview on Thursday.
