“Sa palagay ko po maganda na magkaroon na po talaga tayo ng in-person classes, pero without removing yung option ng (online) lalo na sa ating mga private schools kasi nakita rin naman po natin na nakatulong po ito in improving access to education,” Atty. Joseph Noel Estrada of the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations (COCOPEA) said when asked about the Department of Education (DepEd)’s statement that they expect all schools to hold limited in-person classes in the next academic year.

“So magkakaiba po kasi yung sitwasyon ng mga magulang, ng mga estudyante at ng mga paaralan. Maganda po na mapalawak natin yung ating platforms so bukod po doon sa in-person classes maganda ma-supplement pa po ito ng online platforms,” he said.

“Hindi po natin masabi kung para sa lahat po ang pagtataas pero sana nga po ay hindi po tumaas yung atin pong mga tuition. At mangyayari lang din po yun siyempre kung hindi po tuluyang bababa yung ating mga enrollment sa ating mga paaralan,” he said.
