A lawmaker filed a House invoice looking for to carry again the beginning of the tutorial calendar in primary training to June.
In submitting House Bill No. 8508, Ilocos 1st District Representative Ronald Singson stated in his explanatory notice that resetting the opening of lessons to the primary Monday of June yearly most accurately fits the nation, contemplating the summer season and wet seasons.
“While it is difficult to predict the weather due to climate change, the former school calendar is what suits our country best. Should the school calendar be reverted, students, teachers and parents will be spared from the inconvenience and hazards of adverse weather conditions,” he stated.
A survey of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) confirmed {that a} important majority of academics within the nation reported that college students have been discovering it troublesome to focus on their research as a result of “dry season heat.”
With this, Senate Basic Education Committee Chairman Sherwin Gatchalian also said it was about time to revert the school break to April and May given the number of students who suffered from heat exhaustion.
ACT had suggested the adoption of 185 class days annually to gradually bring back the summer school break after five years.
HB 8508 would amend Republic Act. No. 7797, otherwise known as “An Act to Lengthen the School Calendar from Two Hundred (200) Days to Not More Than Two Hundred Twenty (220) Class Days.”
It covers all primary training establishments within the nation, together with international and worldwide colleges, harmonizing the opening of the tutorial yr for all Philippine colleges to the primary Monday of June. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
