In order to provide an appropriate answer on the issue of the school opening for SY 2020-2021, DepEd has been conducting consultations for the past 2 weeks, with its executive committee, management committee, civil society, business sector and education experts. Parents and learners also expressed their views on Facebook, and other forms of social media.
The law provides that school opening shall start on the first monday of June but not later that the last day of August. The responses favor any day in August as the preferred opening of the school year.
DepEd is conducting a much bigger survey of more than 700,000 respondents, not only on the opening of the school year but also matters related to social distancing; and online classes, cellphone, television or radio as alternative or complementary approaches to learning. The results will come out in a few days.

Quick point-by-point summary of Duterte’s SONA 2020
President Rodrigo Duterte delivered his 5th State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday, July 27, against the backdrop of a pandemic that has disrupted the lives of millions of Filipinos and which continues to spread across the Philippines.
Duterte used most of his annual address, which lasted for nearly two hours, to threaten “oligarchs,” failing to go into detail on a pandemic recovery roadmap for the country which had been earlier promised by Malacañang.
Unlike past speeches, the President’s second to the last SONA was delivered to a limited audience of 50 key Congress and Cabinet officials who have been crucial in delivering pet projects of the administration. The cap on attendees was put in place due to physical distancing restrictions.
The 2020 SONA was also among Duterte's longest ones so far. It included the mention of 21 priority bills he wanted tackled in the remaining two years of his presidency.
