By Gabriela Baron

Public school students will not be required to wear uniforms for the school year 2022-2023, Vice President and Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Duterte said Monday, July 18.

Citing the increasing prices and economic losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Duterte said wearing of uniforms “is not a strict requirement.”

“Even before the pandemic, it is not a strict requirement for public schools to wear uniforms (DepEd Order No. 065, s. 2010) to avoid incurring additional costs to the families of our learners,” Duterte said in a statement.

“All the more that it will not be required this School Year given the increasing prices and economic losses due to the pandemic,” she added.

The new school year will start in August, while full face-to-face classes will resume in November.  – ag
