MANILA - The Department of Education (DepEd) on Saturday announced that classes from pre-school to secondary levels in Metro Manila will resume on Monday.
Kenneth Tirado of the DepEd's public information office said the class resumption covers private and public schools.
Tirado, meanwhile, said classes in schools that are being used as evacuation centers for the victims of tropical storm Ondoy will remain suspended.
The National Disaster Coordinating Council said 226 school buildings, majority of which in Metro Manila, are currently housing 12,560 families or 26,212 persons.
The agency added that Ondoy's onslaught last weekend damaged 331 elementary school buildings and 88 high schools.
Tirado said parents and students should also watch out for announcements from their respective local governments regarding class suspensions.
The Commission on Higher Education, which has supervision over colleges and universities, has yet to make a similar announcement. It suspended classes until Saturday due to the tropical storm.
