Based on DepEd data, 22.36 million students enrolled in public schools and institutions. This is equivalent to 99.05 percent of the students enrolled in public schools for the school year 2019 to 2020, said Briones. Meanwhile, 2.12 million students enrolled in private schools or 49.3 percent of students in private schools enrolled last year. These data from DepEd cover those enrolled in kindergarten, elementary, junior high school, senior high school, learners with disabilities, and the alternative learning system. Well my answer is you already have 24.5 million learners who expect to be going to school by October 5 and we have a lot of catching up to do.)
