Atillo said for kindergarten, there are a total of 52,713 enrollees; 82,419 for Grade 1; 62,353 for Grade 7; and 41,515 for Grade 11, making it a total of 239, 000 for the entire region.
“Mao ni atong resulta or epekto sa atoang early registration nga nakatabang ug dako sa among idea of what kind of school year are we going to face when we enter school year 2021-2022,” he said.
Atillo added that DepEd 11 will still open an enrolment period for those who were not able to catch up with the early registration schedule. However, the date or schedule will depend on the final schedule of the opening of classes that will be announced by President Rodrigo Duterte.
“Ang date niana is, we will announce that in the future simply because we don’t have the specific opening date yet for school year 2021-2022. That is still to be announced by President Duterte and that will be the basis for our upcoming activities because two weeks or three weeks prior to the opening of classes on even one month prior to that will be the schedule for enrolment,” he explained.
Last month, Duterte has thumbed down again proposals to begin a limited run of face-to-face school classes, citing concerns over the more transmissible Delta Covid-19 variant.
