Classes in Oro to resume January 3
Saturday, December 31, 2011
THE Department of Education (DepEd) in Northern Mindanao Region said classes for elementary in Cagayan de Oro will resume on January 3, 2012.
This, even if some public elementary schools in the city are still being occupied by families affected by Tropical Storm Sendong.
“Sendong”, which brought flash flood in Cagayan de Oro City last December 17, left hundreds dead and hundreds more missing in the city.
Luz Almeda, DepEd regional director, said classes will resume as scheduled.
“There is something that is called modalities, informal classes which we plan to conduct in schools that have become evacuation centers like City Central School,” Almeda said.
She said teachers will hold their classes during the first day at the deck bleachers of the Pelaez Sports Center.
Almeda said on the second day, classes will be held in some areas that are vacant like covered courts and open and empty spaces that are fit for the conduct of classes.
“There will be morning and afternoon sessions. Classes will be conducted because we need to track our students. We still don’t know how many have died,” she said.
At the West City Central School in Barangay Carmen, Almeda said classes will be conducted at the covered court.
She, however, said next week’s resumption of classes would not be considered as “normal”.
Almeda said classes will be conducted only for one to two hours per day and that Grades 1 to 3 will have their sessions in the morning, while Grades 4 to 6 will have classes in the afternoon since some of the classrooms are still being occupied by the evacuees.
She said the students also need psycho-social debriefing since they are still in the “state of shock” and that teachers need to normalize the children’s thinking.
Almeda added they also need to follow the number of days required.
“We will try our best that an informal will become formal,” she said.
She added that other schools that are not being used as evacuation centers will have their regular classes.
Though some schools in the city were also affected by the flash flood, Almeda said a mobilization fund is still available for the rehabilitation and repair of these schools.
Meanwhile, Almeda said at least 300 teachers and DepEd staff were displaced and left homeless, while more the 2,000 in cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan were affected by the flash flood.
Primo Rufin, Department of Social Welfare and Development regional executive director, said it is good news that DepEd, especially its regional director, understood the situation.
On Friday afternoon, the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro held a Mass at the San Agustin Cathedral with Archbishop Antonio Ledesma SJ, DD, as the main celebrant.
The mass was held in memory of those who died from the flash flood.
Archbishop Ledesma said the Mass is also in solidarity with the affected people, especially those still at the evacuation centers.
“This is also for consciousness of the people and awareness for the protection of the environment,” he said.(Michael Andrew W. Yu)
