Cebu City schools will reopen for face-to-face classes beginning on September 2, 2026, after a period of remote learning. The decision comes as local health authorities report a decline in the spread of the virus, allowing for a gradual return to in-person education. Schools across both public and private sectors will implement strict health protocols, including temperature checks, mask mandates, and enhanced cleaning procedures.
The move follows a week-long evaluation of the city’s health situation, during which officials monitored infection rates and hospital capacities. Parents and students have been informed of the new schedule, with some schools planning to start with limited class sizes to ensure safety. Officials emphasized that the decision was made carefully to balance educational needs with public health concerns.
Further details on the exact implementation timeline and any additional measures will be announced in the coming days. The reopening is expected to provide a more structured learning environment while maintaining precautions to prevent a resurgence of cases.
