House leaders expressed serious doubt Friday if the Department of Education's (DepEd)

House leaders expressed serious doubt Friday if the Department of Education’s “distance learning” blueprint for students which starts when school opens on August 24 is doable, at least on a large scale.

Tarlac 2nd district Rep. Victor Yap, committee chairman, underscored the need to ensure connectivity also at the homes of the pupils, or else all efforts from DiCT and DepEd would be for naught. Manila Teachers Party-List Rep. Virgilio Lacson reminded the DICT about the scale of the reopening of classes this year and how DepEd has been relying on them to deliver.
