The document outlines DepEd's proposed pilot implementation of limited face-to-face learning in schools located in minimal-risk areas for COVID-19. It discusses the need to address challenges with prolonged distance learning and learning loss. The operational framework is based on UNESCO-UNICEF guidelines and emphasizes shared responsibility between DepEd, DOH, LGUs, schools, families and other stakeholders.

Proposed Pilot Implementation

of Face-to-face Learning
Modality

16 September 2021
ADDRESSING THE GAPS
Learning shall continue for SY 2021-2022. DepEd has recently reopened classes
last September 13, 2021. Due to the continuous increase of COVID-19 cases in the
country, schools remain to conduct classes through distance learning modalities.
However, studies show that prolonged school closures may result to learning loss
especially among children from marginalized households. With this, DepEd
advocates for a safe return to school starting in schools located in minimal-risk
areas.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
WHY LIMITED FACE-TO-FACE?
F2F classes, even in limited form, can mitigate the challenges of distance learning

a. Address difficulty in monitoring and assessing learning progress remotely


b. Mitigate inequalities and unevenness in access to technology, household
resources, and student skills for self-learning
c. Allow resumption of activities that cannot be done at home, such as the
workshop requirements in the TechVoc Track
d. Ease the negative mental health impact of the lack of face-to-face
interaction among children
e. Absence of more responsible adult in the family qualified to take the role of
learning facilitator
f. With resumption of face-to-face classes, schools can help in the
enforcement of health standards in school setting

return to school as equitable and ensuring high-quality education while safeguarding
students’ health and well-being.
