Armin Luistro, the DepEd secretary said that the action “manifests DepEd’s thrust to bring all school-aged children and out-of-school youth back to school.” This long registration schedule will give favorable time for the students as well as to the parents for a more convinient way on the enrollment process.
Luistro said that they had enlisted the assistance of the barangay officials along with the teachers to have the out-of-school childrens, out-of-school youths, street childrens as well as the school-aged to get back to the schools.
