Overview

  • The Ministry of Education suspended face-to-face lessons on Monday, June 8, in 10,131 public and private schools that were used as voting centers in the presidential run-off.
  • The ONPE deployed more than 90,000 voting tables for about 26 million registered voters, which required schools to remain under electoral coordination for material removal and formal handover.
  • Minedu instructed school directors to audit the return of infrastructure and furniture and to verify cleanliness and equipment before reopening, with regional DRE and local UGEL offices supervising the checks.
  • The ministry ruled that missed class hours must be made up in person and explicitly barred virtual or remote substitution, which will force local school leadership to replan their academic timetables.
  • After inspections, many schools are expected to resume classes Tuesday following delivery checks by ONPE and the Armed Forces, and parents should watch for local schedules and recovery plans from school authorities.
