“One day before resigning as Education secretary, Vice President Sara Duterte signed Department Order No. 008 adjusting the calendar for SY 2024-2025 to begin on July 29, 2024 and end on April 15, 2025.”
What Vera Files found
In a Feb. 15 DepEd Order 003, Duterte set the 2024-2025 school calendar from July 29, 2024 to May 16, 2025. In April, she said public schools cannot immediately revert to the old academic calendar because teachers and learners would need a break.
