Graduation will be through Facebook and Zoom again this yearMANILA, Philippines —In-person graduation rites are still prohibited due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Department of Education said as the first year of learning during the pandemic nears its end. This will be the second time since the pandemic began that end-of-school-year ceremonies will not be held in person. DepEd added that schools may broadcast the virtual rites on their social media pages, but should first secure the consent of parents and students. Private schools, meanwhile, "shall be guided by their approved school calendars or revised school calendar." Over 25 million Filipino students are enrolled in the present school year, down by two million from last year's 27 million.
