BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — The Commission on Higher Education is allowing at least 12 Higher Educational Institutions in the Cordillera region to conduct face-to-face classes for academic year 2021-2022.
In-person classes will be limited to health or medical-related courses or programs.
This, after the CHED together with the Department of Health issued Joint Memorandum Circular No. 1 Series 2021 allowing face-to-face classes for some programs. The memorandum favors health-related degree programs as these are most needed during the pandemic.
Allowed to conduct face-to-face classes in Baguio City are
- University of Baguio
- University of the Cordilleras
- Pine City College
- Saint Louis University
- Easter College
- Baguio Central University
Elsewhere in the region, face-to-face classes will be allowed at
- Mountain Province State Polytechnic College
- Benguet State University
- Benguet Vocational School
- Cordillera Career Development College (Benguet)
- Ifugao State University
- Kalinga State University
The regional offices of CHED and DOH and the local government units will work with the local pandemic response task force to ensure safety protocols will be enforced during the classes.
