Study Notes

Reversion to Old School Calendar

The Department of Education (DepEd) has reportedly agreed to revert to the old school calendar, with classes opening in June.
This decision was made after a meeting with education officials on January 16, according to the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) and Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC).
The DepEd will implement the change after the end of school year (SY) 2023 to 2024 and the start of SY 2024 to 2025.

Reasons for the Reversion

One of the main reasons for the change is that most public school classrooms are not capable of handling the heat in April and May, which is the height of the dry season.
Another factor is the annual festivities during these two months, which would disrupt the school schedule.
Religious occasions such as Holy Week, which falls on March 24 to 30 this year, were also considered.

Original School Year Schedule

The original end of SY 2023 to 2024 was set on June 14.
However, the DepEd and stakeholders reached a "consensus" to end it earlier, according to TDC Chair Benjo Basas.
