In September, the DOH warned it was not yet time to ease mask wearing outdoors, but was overruled by the IATF and by the executive order of Marcos.
Over 28.03 million students have so far enrolled for School Year 2022 to 2023, latest data from DepEd showed.
Marcos said while conducting face-to-face classes is not that simple, it would be done successfully with proper preparations.
Speaking to reporters after the first Cabinet meeting of his administration, Marcos said phased face-to-face classes would be implemented in September before the conduct of full in-person learning.
According to the DepEd chief, 34,238 public and private schools have been nominated to conduct limited in-person classes.
