CLASSES in Makati City schools have been shortened amid the dry season.
Classes will run from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for the morning shift and from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for the evening shift, according to an advisory from the Makati City government.
The new schedules took effect on April 8.
The local government also advised students to take protective measures against extreme heat, such as dressing comfortably and drinking plenty of water.
”Habang pinaiikli ang mga klase, pinapaalalahanan ang mga magulang na masigasig na subaybayan at isumite sa tamang oras ang activities ng mga anak araw-araw. Pinapayuhan din ang lahat na magsuot ng komportable at light-colored na damit sa klase. Mangyaring dalhin ang iyong mga tumbler at uminom ng maraming tubig upang manatiling hydrated,” it said.
In Manila City, the Department of Education ordered public schools to conduct classes from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. from April 11 to May 28.
DepEd Manila City cited the ”onset of [the] summer season, where [a] dangerous level of heat index is expected.”
