Education Secretary Leonor Briones said the start of the Christmas break for the school year 2018 to 2019 is Dec. 15, 2018, but the resumption of classes is still on Jan. 2 next year.

“[The department] values the importance of spending quality time with the family,” Briones said in an order.

“The Christmas season provides an opportunity for Filipino learners to strengthen their emotional bonds with the family.”

 

The department also ordered all regions, divisions and schools to review the budget of work in curriculum implementation to ensure that the required competencies are covered.
