(SPOT.ph) Only fully vaccinated tertiary students can join face-to-face classes, emphasized Commission on Higher Education Executive Director Cinderella Benitez-Jaro in a December 1 press briefing. Unvaccinated students, on the other hand, can participate through a flexible learning system. This comes after the Inter-Agency Task Force announcement on November 17 approving the proposed phased implementation of limited in-person classes in universities and colleges under Alert Levels 1, 2, and 3
“For those unvaccinated or students who can’t participate in limited face-to-face classes, they shall continue to be governed by our guidelines on flexible learning—online and offline modes,” she said. This involves both digital and non-digital technology, according to the Commission on Higher Education.
