The Department of Education has officially announced that public schools across the country would open classes for School Year 2025–2026 on June 16, 2025.
This shift marks a return to the pre-pandemic school calendar, as outlined in DepEd Order No. 12, Series of 2025 issued last April 15, which was approved by President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. in May last year.
The school year will run until March 31, 2026, covering 197 class days, including the End-of-School-Year (EOSY) rites.
The DepEd noted that this number may change based on unforeseen events and future directives.
Enrollment and Brigada Eskwela activities are set from June 9 to 13, one week before classes officially begin.
