The Department of Education (DepEd) is now prohibiting all students of public and private elementary and secondary schools from going to
computer shops, malls, theaters, and other similar establishments during class hours.
To carry out the ban effectively, Education Secretary Mona Valisno said school officials and teachers concerned should communicate and coordinate with their respective local government officials so that both parties could work on a possible enactment or implementation of the appropriate legislation to implement this.
“These legislations may be in the form of regulating the distance of computer shops, malls, theaters and the likes from schools,†she said.
The directive may also be sent to the owners of these establishments not to allow entry of students during their respective class hours. “The LGUs can ask the owners of these shops and malls to check first the class schedules of the student trying to enter the establishment,†she said.
Valisno said schools should accordingly provide their students with certified copies of their respective class schedules.
