Teachers Group Condemns Philippines' Trimestral School Year Proposal for Lacking Consultation

The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) has publicly opposed the Department of Education's plan to implement a trimestral school year, citing an absence of stakeholder consultation. This resistance highlights tensions between educational policymakers and frontline educators and parents. The outcome depends on whether DepEd will engage in transparent dialogue or proceed with the reform amid opposition, influencing the future of Philippine academic scheduling.
