The University of the Philippines on Thursday announced the implementation of 100% face-to-face classes in all its undergraduate courses in the second semester of the current academic year AY 2022-2023.
In an announcement on its official website, UP said the decision is "complementary to the university’s adoption of hybrid and blended learning to equip students for the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and achieve educational resilience in a volatile and rapidly changing world."
Prior to this, the university said it is already holding 100% face-to-face classes for laboratory, studio, and practicum courses, among others, and all courses in some of its constituent universities in the first semester of the current academic year.
"UP Manila began holding 100% face-to-face classes for its courses in the public health disciplines as early as July 2021," the university said.
"Details regarding implementing face-to-face classes in all courses and the learning delivery mode in the graduate programs are currently being finalized," it added.
Last month, UP announced the suspension of its UP College Admission Test for the academic year (AY) 2022-2023 for the third straight year due to COVID-19.
