TARLAKENYO (May 22, 2024) — President Bongbong Marcos finally decided that the school year 2024-25 will be from July 29 to April 15.
The President’s decision came after the Department of Education (DepED) originally set the school year 2024 to 2025 from July 29 to March 31, 2025.
The original schedules proposed by DepED were either 180 school days with 15 in-person Saturday classes or 165 school days with no in-person Saturday classes. Both would have ended on March 31, 2024.
“Habaan lang natin ‘yung school days. Para matagal, dagdagan na lang natin ‘yung school days basta huwag natin gagalawin ‘yung Saturday. So, school day will remain the same. Standard lang,” Marcos said during a meeting with Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte.
