Other heavily affected regions include Cagayan Valley, Ilocos, Calabarzon, and Central Luzon, each reporting at least 29 class disruptions.

According to reports, 239 schools nationwide are classified as “very high risk” for further learning disruptions due to frequent natural calamities, impacting over 377,000 students.

Additionally, nearly 5,000 schools are categorized as high-risk, facing similar threats.

One of the key measures to be implemented by the Department of Education (DepEd) is the Dynamic Learning Program (DLP) to ensure continuous learning in affected areas.

This program can be introduced in schools as make-up classes and catch-up sessions to recover lost instructional days.

The initiative will feature parallel classes and learning recovery sessions conducted in temporary learning spaces.
