Classes go online as heat surges Education Department announces on Facebook

Extreme heat has scorched Southeast Asia in recent weeks, prompting thousands of schools to suspend in-person operations and authorities to issue health warnings.

The unusually hot weather is expected to last until mid-May, a forecaster said Sunday, after the temperature hit a record high in Manila.

Many schools in the Philippines have no air-conditioning, leaving students to swelter in crowded, poorly ventilated classrooms.

"In view of the latest heat index forecast... and the announcement of a nationwide transport strike, all public schools nationwide shall implement asynchronous classes/distance learning on April 29 and 30, 2024," the Department of Education (DepEd), which oversees more than 47,000 schools, said on Facebook.
