MANILA — The Department of Education on Sunday canceled in-person classes nationwide from April 29-30, 2024 and ordered the implementation of distance learning due to the expected intense heat and transport strike.

The DepEd issued the directive as some parts of the Philippines shattered their hottest temperature records on Saturday. The scorching heat is forecast to persist until the middle of May.

Meanwhile, transport group PISTON will stage a transport strike from April 29 to May 1 to oppose the franchise consolidation requirement under the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program.

The DepEd said teaching and non-teaching personnel in public schools are also not required to report to their respective stations.

Activities organized by regional and division offices could push through as scheduled, but school officials should ensure the safety of participants, it said.

Private schools are not covered by the advisory, but they can also implement the same order, the DepEd said.
