Undersecretary Tonisito Umali said the programs would complement online and modular lessons, which would be the norm as the government has prohibited in-person classes. ADVERTISEMENTHe said the DepEd had a system to help parents and students with the many challenges that came with distance learning. Umali said 3,120 television lessons and 3,445 radio episodes would be aired in 207 television channels and 162 radio stations nationwide. If parents could not get the self-learning modules themselves, the DepEd would find a way to deliver them to the students. ADVERTISEMENTAs of the third week of September, the DepEd has distributed more than 533 million self-learning modules, or 80 percent of the target.
