The Senate on Tuesday adopted a resolution recommending the resumption of face-to-face classes in the country by immediately launching the pilot testing of localized limited physical classes.
During its session, the chamber adopted Senate Resolution 663 in consideration of Senate Resolution 668, combining the resolutions introduced by Senate President Vicente Sotto III and of Senator Sherwin Gatchalian and six other senators.
According to the adopted resolution, the pilot testing in localized limited face-to-face classes will be launched in low-risk areas as identified by the Department of Education under risk-based assessment.
The pilot testing will also be conducted following stringent mitigation measures, strict health protocols, and guidelines set by the Department of Health and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease.
