Exciting updates from DepEd on school calendar changes. Find out the latest shifts and important dates for upcoming school years!

The Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines recently made significant amendments to the school calendar, signaling a gradual shift back to the pre-pandemic April-May break. For the upcoming school year 2024-2025, classes are set to start on July 29, with the end of the current school year (SY 2023-2024) pushed back by two weeks to May 31. Parents and guardians are encouraged to participate in the early registration of school-age students for the selected grade levels. DepEd is taking steps to revert to the old school calendar, aiming for a full transition by school year 2026-2027 when schools will open in June and end in April.

In a proactive move, DepEd in Palawan has assigned a task force to oversee administrative tasks in public schools, emphasizing the importance of efficiency and monitoring. Furthermore, the department issued a warning about fake scholarship announcements circulating online, cautioning the public to be vigilant against misinformation. Education Secretary and Vice President Sara Duterte signed DepEd Order No. 3, series of 2024, on Feb. 19, initiating changes to the current school calendar to align with the planned transition.

Did you know that Philippine schools will gradually return to the old academic calendar by SY 2024-2025, with a projected timeline for full implementation by school year 2026-2027? The shift aims to streamline school schedules and align with pre-pandemic norms, fostering a more structured learning environment for students.
