THE Department of Education (DepEd) is still unsure when classes will resume in Marawi City due to the ongoing fighting between government troops and the Maute Group.

“There’s no definite date yet for the opening of classes in Marawi City. (Education) Secretary Leonor Briones said that we will coordinate first with the Department of National Defense and the Armed Forces of the Philippines to know if the place is already safe,” Tonisito Umali, DepEd assistant secretary for legal and legislative affairs, told The Manila Times on Saturday.
