Philippine Class Suspension (Walang Pasok) FAQ
When does DepEd Order 37 automatically cancel classes in the Philippines?
Under Department of Education (DepEd) Order No. 37, Series of 2022, in-person and online classes for Kindergarten to Grade 12 in public schools are automatically cancelled when PAGASA issues Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, or when an Orange or Red rainfall warning is raised over the locality.
Do private schools follow automatic DepEd class cancellations?
Private schools are mandated to cancel classes automatically under TCWS Signal No. 2 and higher. Under Signal No. 1 and rainfall advisories, private school heads and local chief executives (mayors/governors) exercise discretion, though DepEd strongly encourages alignment to guarantee student and employee safety.
What happens if a storm signal or rainfall warning is issued while students are in class?
If a signal is raised during school hours, classes are immediately suspended. School administrators are instructed to keep students safely inside classrooms until it is safe to return home or parents can safely pick them up.
Are college and university classes automatically cancelled under DepEd rules?
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) fall under the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and local government executive orders (such as Executive Order No. 66). Under Signal No. 2 and higher, tertiary classes are automatically suspended nationwide. Under Signal No. 1, university presidents or municipal mayors decide suspensions.
Can classes be cancelled due to high heat index or volcanic smog?
Yes. School heads are officially authorized by DepEd to cancel in-person classes and transition to Modular Distance Learning when apparent heat indices reach dangerous levels (42 degrees Celsius and above), or when volcanic smog (vog) from Taal Volcano generates Unhealthy air quality index ratings.
