Minister, Basic, Higher and Technical Education, BARMM
Bureau and Service Directors
Regional Directors
Schools Division Superintendents
Public and Private Elementary and Secondary School Heads State/Local
Universities and Colleges Heads
All Others Concerned

1. The unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19, which resulted in the implementation of

various forms of community quarantine, has greatly affected the education system. While our
united efforts in the past months against the COVID-19 pandemic are producing positive
results, it is not yet fully contained, and our country and the world at large continue to face
challenges brought about by this unforeseen health crisis.
2. The Department of Education (DepEd) is committed to ensure educational continuity
amidst the challenges. Education must continue to give hope and stability, contribute to the
normalization of activities in the country, facilitate development of our learners and bring
normalcy to their lives, but health and safety of learners and school personnel are of utmost
importance and must be protected at all times.

3. After consultations and internal discussions, DepEd has reached a decision to set the
opening of School Year (SY) 2020-2021 on August 24, 2020. However, the days in August
prior to the formal school opening will be used to provide learners with assignments to explore
foundational topics for deepening during the year, orientation on the utilization of alternative
learning delivery modalities and corresponding learners’ materials, and mental health and
psychosocial support activities. These pre-opening activities devoted to the attainment of the
learning objectives for the school year shall be counted as class days. The school year will end on
April 30, 2021.

4. The push back in the formal school opening by nearly three months from the
traditional opening on the first Monday of June, is intended to afford DepEd enough time to
undertake the necessary preparations in what will be an extraordinarily challenging school
year.
5. School opening will not necessarily mean traditional face-to-face learning in
classroom. The physical opening of schools will depend on the risk severity grading or
classification of a locality, pursuant to guidelines of the Department of Health (DOH), the the
Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases in the
Philippines (IATF), or the Office of the President (OP). Even in areas where schools are
allowed to open, physical distancing will still be required, which will necessitate schools to
combine face-to-face learning with distance learning.

6. Because of the compressed school year, the Secretary is authorizing the holding of
Saturday classes, through the conduct of distance learning activities to be undertaken by
learners, pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 7797. Should religious considerations prohibit
these Saturday activities, they shall be undertaken on Sundays. In all, the total class days in
the 2020-2021 school calendar will be 203 days.
7. The learning intervention for Alternative Learning System (ALS) shall also formally
open on August 24, 2020, while the program duration will depend on the learner’s
educational background or existing knowledge level prior to enrolling in the ALS program.
8. Private schools and state/local universities and colleges (SUCs/LUCs) offering basic
education will be allowed to open classes within the period authorized by RA 7797, which is
on the first Monday of June but not later than the last day of August, Provided:
a. No face-to-face classes will be allowed earlier than August 24, 2020, and from then on, face-
to-face classes may be conducted only in areas allowed to open physically.
b. They submit in advance the following documents to the DepEd Regional Offices
(ROs) for review and monitoring purposes:

i. Their school’s plan for compliance with minimum health standards that will
be issued by DepEd, consistent with guidelines of the DOH, the IATF, and the
OP;
ii. Their school’s Learning Continuity Plan showing alternative delivery modes
of learning when face-to-face learning is not allowed, which shall constitute
compliance with the requirement provided under Item 6 of Annex 3, DepEd
Order No. 021, s. 2019; and
iii. Their school’s SY 2020-2021 School Calendar.

9. The Implementing Guidelines on the School Calendar and Activities for SY 2020-2021
are provided herein (Enclosure No. 1) to enable the schools and community learning centers
(CLCs) to effectively and efficiently implement the school events and activities. Likewise, the
guidelines shall allow the ROs and the schools division offices (SDOs) to provide support to
schools and CLCs, particularly in the areas of instruction and progress monitoring and
evaluation.
10. Schools and CLCs may observe national and local celebrations other than those
indicated in Enclosure Nos. 2 and 3, provided that these are beneficial to the learners. In this
regard, ROs may issue a supplemental calendar to reflect their local events. The significance
of these celebrations may be integrated in the day’s learning activity.
11. Immediate dissemination of and strict compliance with this Order are directed.

development, in order to prepare the graduates for higher education, middle level skills
development, and the world of work. Hence, schools and community learning centers
(CLCs) are encouraged to adhere to the school calendar and activities to comply with the
required number of school days for the optimum attainment of the learning standards as well
as to ensure the observance of national/local school events and activities/celebrations. The
school calendar also reflects the events and monthly celebrations/observances for the year.
2. The unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19, which resulted in the implementation of
various forms of community quarantine, has, however, greatly affected the education system,
including the school calendar. DepEd has been supporting the overall effort of the Philippine
government to address this public health crisis by making informed, coordinated, and
proportionate response, and adopting crucial policies to ensure continuity of quality
education amidst the challenges of this crisis, hence the need to adjust the usual school
calendar.
3. This policy aims to provide direction and guidance to schools and CLCs in planning their
respective activities relative to curricular operations and other celebrations/observances within
the required number of class days for School Year (SY) 2020-2021.

Infectious Diseases (IATF), and the Office of President (OP);
 ii. Their school’s Learning Continuity Plan showing alternative delivery

conducted by the teachers to track and measure learners’ progress and to adjust instruction
accordingly. These shall be done through paper-based, offline or online assessment format,
