Students displaced by closure of lumad schools will be taken in by other schools – DepEd 0 SHARES Share it! In an effort to ensure that the displaced learners will continue their studies, DepEd has directed nearby public schools to accept the students. “Arrangements have always been made for the transfer of the students to other nearby accessible schools,” Briones said. “This is not the only instance where schools are closed because we have closed private schools – small private schools,” she said. She maintained that the 55 lumad schools have repeatedly failed to comply with DepEd’s standards which led to the issuance of the suspension order.
