Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte has issued an order establishing a hybrid learning program in all public elementary and high schools in the city to address challenges arising from classroom backlogs and inclement weather conditions.
“By institutionalizing the Department of Education’s flexible learning policy through this ordinance, Quezon City is turning national guidance into real action,” the mayor said.
“We are investing in our schools so that learning doesn’t stop whether it’s due to natural disasters, heat waves, or simply not having enough classrooms,” she added. The measure responds to urgent problems confronting the education sector, notably classroom shortage, overcrowding and increasing frequency of class suspensions due to bad weather, extreme heat, and other emergencies linked to climate change.
