Automatic Class Suspensions

The Department of Education (DepEd), through DepEd Order No. 14, s. 2026, provides guidelines for class suspensions during emergencies. School heads are empowered to coordinate with Schools Division Superintendents and Local Government Units (LGUs) in determining appropriate class suspensions based on actual conditions in their respective communities.

The policy allows for granular class suspensions, meaning only affected schools, classrooms, or grade levels may be suspended when necessary instead of imposing division-wide cancellations. It also provides guidance on appropriate learning delivery modes before, during, and after emergencies to ensure continuity of education.
