MANILA: An education official defended Wednesday the Department of Education’s decision to extend the academic year until July 10 to address learning gaps among students.
“We want to give children the chance to catch up because we don’t want anyone to be left behind even if it’s just one student,” said DepEd Undersecretary Diosdado Antonio.
“’We assume that there would be lessons until Saturday so there’s no room for makeup classes, “ he added.
