Department of Education (DepEd)plans to extend the academic calendar for school year 2020-2021; shorthened the summer break to all learners of elementary and secondary.
The reason why DepEd plans to do so it is because students must complete the school requirements under the distance learning in this global pandemic.
In the interview of DepEd Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio; although, there is no exact number of weeks yet on the said extension, Deped officials plan to extend the school year.
"Wala pang definite number of weeks na extension pero isa yan sa tinitingnan namin."He said.
He added that in this way, learners have a chance to accomplish all their acedemic requirements.
He continued,"Para sa lahat ng mag-aaral, lalo na iyong medyo nagkakaroon ng challenges, ay mabigyan ng pagkakataon na maisumite ang mga kailangang gawin."
The school year 2020-2021 should have ended on June 11, 2021.
