Millions of students across the Philippines have returned to the classroom on Monday, after one of the world’s longest school closures.
Almost half the country’s schools resumed in-person classes after more than two years of distance learning.
The Philippines was one of the last few countries to transition back to face-to-face learning after Covid struck.
But some experts say the prolonged suspension of in-person lessons has worsened an education crisis.
Around 24,000 of the country’s public schools – or just less than half – will implement five days of face-to-face classes.
