EDUCATION Secretary Armin Luistro on Tuesday said that the Department of Education (DepEd) will be sticking to the June to April school calendar, even if some of the country’s top universities have already declared to move their academic calendar from August to May in line with the economic integration of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) by 2015.
