School heads in the Philippines can suspend in-person classes due to heat – DepEd

[Starmix]

In light of the high heat index experienced in different parts of the country, the Department of Education reiterates the provision of Department Order 037 which provides guidelines or cancellations of classes and work in schools in the event of natural disasters, power outages interruptions, and other calamities.

The DepEd Department has given the school heads the authority and discretion to suspend the conduct of in-person classes and shift to the alternative delivery mood in case of extreme heat and calamities that may compromise the health and safety of teachers, leaders, and non-teaching personnel.

There is extreme heat in this country for almost a week thus parents complained about their kids getting sick and others who suffer heatstroke.

I can completely understand this, it has been like this for a long time now in my country. The heat is something else and the worse part is we don't even have stable power supply so we can use fan an air conditioner. The cost of fuel is something else that not everyone can afford putting on their generator for long.

Even the rainy season right now we hardly see rain. And when the rain finally falls, it comes along with more heat.
