ROXAS CITY, Capiz – There is a big possibility that Capiz State University (CapSU) will hold limited face-to-face classes in 2022.
This was announced by Dr. Editha Alfon, SUC President III, in last week’s press conference together with Prospero De Vera III, Commission on Higher Education (CHED) chairperson, and Atty. Lily Freida Milla of CHED during the launch of PAGTUKIB 2021.
Alfon said that everything has been prepared including the guidelines to be submitted to CHED and National IATF.
According to De Vera, limited face-to-face classes will be allowed at 50 percent capacity in all degree programs in areas under Alert Level 2.
Aside from this, some conditions must be met during the implementation, including high vaccination rate for students and teachers, approval from the local government unit (LGU) and retrofitting or rehabilitation of the school facilities that will accept the students.
At present, limited face-to-face classes were implemented in allied health sciences and medicines and Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM), Engineering and Technology Programs, Marine Engineering, Tourism/Travel Management and Marine Transportation courses.
De Vera added that he already talked with the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations of the Philippines wherein they have been studying if they will allow the private university to hold face-to-face classes or not.
