THE Department of Education (DepEd) breached its 28.6 million enrollment target on Tuesday, August 23, after 28.79 million learners were recorded to have enlisted for the school year 2022-2023 for a 104.49-percent increase from last year's 27.56 million.

This came a day after the first day of face-to-face classes and the last day of the regular registration period on Monday as the DepEd has been expecting a number of learners to still show up in schools with the intent to enroll and attend classes.
