THE University of the Philippines (UP) will allow the conduct of 100 percent in-person classes "in all its undergraduate courses" in the second semester of academic year 2022-2023, the UP Media and Public Relations Office announced on Thursday.
"This 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," it explained.
The announcement came after Senator Pilar Juliana "Pia" Cayetano questioned five state universities and colleges (SUCs), including UP, for not fully implementing in-person classes.
UP clarified in the same post that "100 percent face-to-face classes for laboratory, studio, and practicum courses, among others, and all courses" in some of its constituent units for the first semester of the current academic year.
