The Department of Education Negros Occidental (DepEd-NegOcc) Schools Division said yesterday that there were no issues found during the resumption of full face-to-face (F2F) classes in the province.

Full F2F classes in all levels resumed last November 2, transitioning to five-day per week in-person classes.

In a radio interview, Ian Arnold Arnaiz, DepEd-NegOcc schools division spokesperson, said there were no problems found, except for the teachers who have to adjust to accommodate students.

However, he believes that they will be able to address some of the small problems such as the lack of available chairs due to the large number of students.

He pointed out that full F2F is the ideal method for learning because it is easy for teachers to educate students.

Teachers also have the opportunity to interact with students.

More than 271,771 students in Negros Occidental returned to schools in August, after two years of adapting to online and blended learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic./DGB, WDJ
