DepEd Introduces New Four-Level Class Suspension Framework
The Department of Education (DepEd) has introduced a new four-level framework to guide schools on the appropriate learning mode during emergencies and class suspensions. This policy, applicable to all schools including those in Quezon City, will take effect starting June 2026. This framework directly impacts all local students and their families in Quezon City by standardizing how schools respond to emergencies, ensuring learning continuity and clearer communication during events like typhoons or other crises. It provides a predictable structure that can reduce confusion for parents and educators. The new framework categorizes emergencies into four distinct levels, each with prescribed learning modes such as asynchronous learning, limited synchronous sessions, or full suspension. Parents and students should monitor official DepEd and local government announcements for the specific alert level and corresponding learning mode.
