Last month, the Department of Education (DepEd) announced that the opening of classes for the school year 2022-2023 will be on August 22, 2022.

Meanwhile, DepEd is already planning phases to get to full face-to-face classes across the nation. The education department previously confirmed that it is eyeing having full face-to-face classes in the country by November.
Most elementary and secondary students in the Philippines are on blended learning for more than two (2) years now. Instead of the usual face-to-face classes, blended learning was adopted in schools. The delivery of lessons or classroom instructions took place through online classes or modules – whichever best works for a student.
