TRINIDAD -- The Commission on Higher Education announced opening of limited
face-to-face classes on medical and allied health programs in higher education
institutions (HEIs) in the Cordillera region.
This following President Rodrigo Duterte’s approval of the resumption of face-to-face classes in said programs in areas under general and modified general community quarantine.
The national government saw the need of producing more health workers who play a vital role during the Covid-19 pandemic.
CHED Cordillera Director Danilo Bose, in a meeting of the Provincial Inter-Agency Task Force on Covid-19, announced resumption of limited face-to-face classes on five medical and allied health programs.
HEIs in the region covering five programs: medicine, physical therapy, nursing, medical technology and midwifery.
Bose said it is not automatic for institutions offering such programs to resume face to face learning.
They need to apply and be assessed based on the checklist CHED will provide for compliance, he said.
If qualified based on the assessment of members of the IATF such as CHED and Dept. of Health, they can resume limited face-to-face classes, Bose added.
“For the other programs, we still have to wait. Priority are the medical and allied health programs as we all know these are the programs we really need during these times,” he said.
Face-to-face classes were suspended last year to ensure safety of students amidst the Covid pandemic.
