Advertisements“The school calendar contains more or less 204 school calendar days, and to deliver all the modules effectively, we only require 180 days of actual contact time among the teachers and our students. If you go below that, then we conduct make-up classes for our students by way of Saturday classes or extended school hours on weekdays if applicable, if there’s no shifting happening,” Education Undersecretary Tonisito Umali told The Manila Times. Now, if the 180 days is still intact then make-up classes may or may not happen. Under the law, students are required to spend at least 200 school calendar days in each school year. “[W]e comply with that by having 204 school calendar days,” Umali said.
