ANTIQUE – Over 47,000 public school students in the province will have full face-to-face graduation and moving-up ceremonies, according to the Department of Education (DepEd).
Dr. Evelyn Remo, Schools Division of Antique chief of school governance and operations, said on Tuesday that graduation and moving up ceremonies for 47,130 graduates and completers from Kindergarten to Grade 12 enrolled in 535 public schools in the province were from July 10–14, 2023.
“Parents and other family members are allowed to attend,” she said.
Schools have the discretion whether or not to require facemasks or observe other coronavirus disease 2019 health protocols.
“Graduation and moving up ceremonies in Antique have returned to normal now,” Remo said.
She said there were schools with a large number of graduates holding a series of ceremonies to lessen the gathering of people.
“We are celebrating because of our learners’ resiliency despite the challenges of the pandemic,” Remo said as she conveyed her congratulations to the graduates and completers. (PNA)/PN
