QC orders localized class suspension
The Quezon City government early morning Monday left the discretion of suspending classes due to continuous rain to barangay and school officials , Angelbert Apostol, the city information chief, announced. Those who immediately ordered the suspension of classes are Barangay Holy Spirit for its (Public Pre-school to Senior High School — Morning and Afternoon Class); Barangay Bagong Silangan (Public Pre-school to Senior High School) and Barangay Payatas (Public Pre-school to Senior High School). Apostol said the discretion is allowed through Memorandum Circular No. 10-A series of 2022 under the Department of Education Order 037 series of 2022. Suspension of classes in private schools, on the other hand, is left to the discretion of school officials. Apostol added that decision to suspend classes is left to the barangay for having their own “pre-disaster risk assessment” in consultation with school officials. Over a year ago exactly on 22 August 2022, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte issued a Memorandum Circular No. 10 instructing the local School Division Office and Public and Private Education Institutions to adhere to Localized Suspension of Classes due to typhoons, floodings and other weather disturbances and calamities. The circular noted an “automatic suspension classes” based on Department of Education 014 Series of 202, that dictated “classes shall automatically be suspended in case the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration has declared the following typhoon signal: Signal Number 1 — all public and private pre-school kindergarten classes; Signal Number 2 or higher — public and private pre-school kindergarten elementary and secondary classes. College and university level classes are suspended if the typhoon signal is raised to Number 3, pursuant to Commission on Higher Education Memorandum Order No. 15 Series of 2019 ordering an automatic suspension of classes on Higher Education Institutions when Signal Number 3 is raised by PAGASA. It also carries an order that suspension of work in public schools “shall be in accordance with DepEd Order No. 14 Series of 2021 and CHEd Memorandum Order No.15 Series of 2012 for HEIs.” Meanwhile, the cities of Parañaque and Pasay yesterday suspended classes in all levels in public and private schools due to inclement weather. Parañaque City Mayor Eric Olivarez ordered the suspension in all levels both in public and private schools upon the recommendation of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. The mayor said the recommendation of suspension of classes by the DRRMO was due to the continuous southwest monsoon rains enhanced by typhoon “Hanna.” Residents were told, especially those living in low-lying areas, to immediately call the city government in case of emergencies through its hotline numbers. (For landline: 8820-PQUE (7783), for Smart : 0961-096-6341 and for Globe users at 0956-394-0176.) All residents were advised by the mayor to just stay home for their safety. Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano also suspended online and face-to-face classes in all levels both in public and private schools. The mayor advised residents living in flood-prone areas to be alert and vigilant as rains continue to pour. The post QC orders localized class suspension appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

Philippine colleges partner with top Canadian unis for nursing
Miriam College and World Citi Colleges are partnering with top Canadian universities to produce world-class nurses, said Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Chairperson Prospero De Vera III during the Laging Handa public briefing. "If Miriam College and Camosun College in Canada signed a memorandum of agreement to have international programs including health sciences; WCC [World Citi Colleges] has also signed up with various universities there—University of Manitoba and the rest in nursing. So we have many Philippine universities now that have already signed agreements or starting to sit down together with the top Canadian universities to produce world-class nurses," De Vera said. According to him, some of the Philippine universities that offer nursing programs have aligned their curriculum with the nursing curriculum in Canada. "What they did is that they created a common curriculum that is patterned to the nursing curriculum in Canada so that Filipino students will have credentials that are recognized in Canada," De Vera said. He said World Citi Colleges has signed an agreement with the network of hospitals in Ontario, wherein the hospital training of their students will be done in Canada. "So, we focus on that [nursing] because, you know, we are famous for our nursing graduates, and foreign universities recognize that we have good products when it comes to health care," De Vera said. "So, those agreements, the other agreements, were already signed before I came to Canada. Other Philippine universities have already signed the agreements in the past two to three months, and some more will be signed in the coming months until November because there is a big international conference in Canada in November—several Philippine schools are going there to launch their partnership agreements in November on nursing program, health sciences. Those are the programs they focus on. All of that is in response to the instruction or to the call of the President that we focus on degree programs in STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] and degree programs that have connections with industry," the CHED chair added. De Vera said the Department of Health, the private hospitals and CHED will work together to fund the partnership with foreign universities to produce additional nurses. "We should help nursing graduates to pass a licensure test, and that's what we're doing right now actually. Other universities have already started giving free review classes for their graduating students and their alumni who have not passed the licensure exam," he said. "So, that's what we have presented to the President—long-term, medium-term and immediate steps that can be undertaken. The President ordered CHED to continue what he's been doing to address the nursing crisis," the CHED chair added. Just recently, the Philippine State College of Aeronautics (PhilSCA) and the World Citi Colleges (WCC) also signed a memorandum of agreement with the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) to produce world-class Filipino aircraft maintenance specialists and avionics technicians for the domestic and international aviation industry. This agreement is a result of the CHED-initiated project entitled “Twinning and Training Program for a ladderized Diploma Program in Aircraft Maintenance Technology”, that leads to a Bachelor’s Degree in Aircraft Technology between PhilSCA, WCC and BCIT. This initiative is a response to the call of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for educational institutions to focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics programs. “This MOA signing is timely as we celebrate the first year of the Marcos administration and a response to his call to produce world-class graduates that can practice their profession all over the world,” De Vera said. “CHED’s presence here today is the manifestation of our deep interest in further strengthening our close bilateral relationship with Canada in promoting the internationalization of HEIs and a signal that the Philippines is open for business for universities that are interested in transnational education,” he added.
