While a lot of parents have welcomed this move by the CHED, what is puzzling is the inaction on the part of the Department of Education to adjust the resumption of classes to the same date.

Thus, this move is quite puzzling and bears close scrutiny particularly when infections spread to the elementary and high school level.
