We are also looking to the Bayanihan 2 and we will actively engage the process of the implementation of the Bayanihan 2 programming to hopefully include this in its operationalization,&quot; he told ANC.&quot;It will be on a need basis still and on the part of the private schools we will need also their assistance... for a clear listing of these displaced teachers. I think that will have to come from the private schools association themselves.&quot;Malaluan, meantime, said the number of hours that a student will spend learning would depend on the class programming of the region or his school.This after Education Undersecretary Jesus Mateo earlier said students may spend up to 7 to 8 hours studying at home or attending online classes, as an adjustment to the new academic calendar.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/18/20/deped-clarifies-8-hour-online-classes-just-a-suggestion">DepEd clarifies: 8-hour online classes just a suggestion</a></li></ul>&quot;A big part of the distance learning delivery modality would involve self-directed learning. While there will be a definite time period, there will be a lot of self-based learning that will be happening at home,&quot; he said.The agency is currently conducting dry runs in preparation for the school opening on October 5, he added,&quot;These dry runs we are doing are informing the regionwide how it is being done by example and of course there will be a lot of learning by doing in the first quarter, Malaluan said.
