SLegislator: Study possibility of starting classes in September

A member of the Cebu Provincial Board is asking education officials to look into the possibility of starting classes in September instead of the usual June.
Juan Bolo, who also serves as the chairman of the provincial board's committee on education, said he would seek on Monday the approval of a resolution asking Provincial Schools Division Superintendent Recaredo Borgonia to initiate public consultations on the possibility.

The suggestion, Bolo said, originated from Senate President Franklin Drilon, who wanted to spare schoolchildren from rains during the rainy season, which usually starts in June.

If the consultation turns out positive and the proposal approved this year, then classes from 2007 onwards would start every September.

But before any changes could be adopted, a public consultation should be conducted in order to "determine the pulse of the public."

i think there is no problem on whatever month the class will start, the problem lies on the diminishing standards of our education here in the Philippines especially in the public schools..they should focus their efforts more on providing ample classrooms and quality texbooks instead of baffling on something that only requires no-brainer solution.

^^ditto..

as long as our children are getting the right quality of education..no problemo as to when classes should start..

the reason why they are proposing for a september is because of the rainy season... rainy season puts a burden to the students...

luoy kaayo kung magbaha... wala na'y klase... usahay magtulo pa sulod sa room... so, naa gihapon effect gamay sa quality of education....

rainfall is expected throughout the season because of our temperate climate..in fact PAGASA forecasted that we'll be having a rainy summer due to LA Nina..although this is a sound propoasal but i guess they should set it aside and concentrate on developing other important factors that deminish the quality of education in the country

maayo unta ug naay free nga school bus para sa mga public schools...........paita sa una kung mag uwan uy...inig abot sa eskwelahan....lapok na kaayo ang tiil.........hinoon.....pobre man ako parents.....palakton lang jud padulong sa school rain or shine, so no choice...........dili pareha karon nga ang mga estudyante mo threatened pa sa mga ginikanan nga dili mo eskwela kung dili tagaan ug bawn............
