Students, doctors still see problems as more schools reopenStudents attend the first day of the pilot in-person classes at the Cabagdalan Elementary School in Balamban, Cebu yesterday. MANILA, Philippines — Progressive student organizations and some doctors flagged potential problems that may arise as more schools welcome students again after one of the longest school shutdowns in the world due to the coronavirus pandemic. “With the budget cuts, the schools will have a hard time, whether these are SUCs, HEIs, or even public schools,” Santos said. “If the government will continuously let school administrators and education sector carry the responsibilities, then it will not be sustainable,” Mañibo told Philstar.com. He added that since there are other schooling options aside from face-to-face classes, students will not be discriminated in terms of access to education.
