LIGAO CITY — Albay 2nd district Rep. Joey Salceda told the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) that there should be no virtual classes during coronavirus crisis. “Online classes [are] not beneficial for students now the country is in [a] pandemic situation,” Salceda said Saturday. He said the schools are compelling students to do online classes in order to justify the collection. “Doing education online is socially unjust because of [the] digital divide – no laptops or desktops, no load. “Just realign P16 billion from Tertiary Education Subsidy 2020 in General Appropriations Act,” he said.
