Pormal nang inanunsiyo ngayon ng Department of Education (DepEd) ang inisyal na pagpili sa 59 na pampublikong mga paaralan sa bansa para sa gagawing face-to-face classes.
Ang naturang bilang ay mula sa 638 na nominadong mga paaralan matapos makapasa sa granular risk assessment ng Department of Health (DOH).
Paliwanag ng DepEd, maingat na tinukoy ng DOH Epidemiology Bureau ang mga kinilalang paaralan na kabilang sa minimal or low risk, batay sa Alert Levels ng mga probinsya/highly urbanized cities (HUC)/ independent component cities (ICC) at risk category ng munisipalidad at siyudad.
Basi sa nakapaloob sa DepEd-DOH Joint Memorandum Circular on the Pilot Implementation of Face-to-Face Classes, nasa proseso na raw ng pagbibigay ng karagdagang proteksyon para sa paghahanda ng mga paaralan sasali sa pilot phase.
Kabilang sa gagawin ng DepEd ay ang pangangasiwa sa site inspection at simulasyon para sa pagtiyak ng pagkakaroon ng school implementation and contingency plan, hygiene at sanitation materials, handwashing facilities, at standard classrooms, at iba pa.
Samantala, magbibigay ang DOH ng isang rolling assessment tuwing Lunes upang madagdagan ang bilang ng mga kalahok na paaralan hanggang sa umabot sa 120.
Ang pilot implementation ng face-to-face classes ay ipatutupad sa loob ng dalawang buwan.
Sinasabing target ang pagsisimula nito sa November 15, 2021.
