DepEd Advisory about the opening of classes for the SY 2023-2024

August 3, 2023 — The Department of Education (DepEd) announces that the opening of classes for School Year 2023-2024 in all public schools will be on August 29, 2023.

Through the DepEd Philippine Facebook page, DepEd officially confirmed the start of classes for this coming school year after considering  August 28 as the beginning of classes for this school year. Initially, the first target date coincidentally falls with National Heroes Day, therefore, Deped decided to start it on the following day - August 29.

The Department also advised the private schools may choose to open classes on any date starting "the first Monday of June but not later than the last day of August," pursuant to Republic Act 11480.

This coming school year will be the first school year that starts with full face-to-face classes since the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Department of Education shifted to distance and blended learning in the past three consecutive school years -  SY 2020-2021, SY 2021-2022, and SY 2022-2023.
