The Guam Department of Education has finished tracking down hundreds of “missing” public school students after pandemic restrictions were eased and DOE was able to conduct home visits for the first time, according to education Superintendent Jon Fernandez. In October, two months after the school year started, DOE reported that as many as 1,750 students still were “missing” — not enrolled in either of the distance learning options and unable to be contacted using the information on file. The public schools started the school year using only online or hard-copy distance learning because the governor had prohibited face-to-face instruction. Limited face-to-face instruction resumed last month, with about 25% of students participating.
