There were still two weeks remaining for instruction and final examination before the ECQ was implemented. The necessary competencies taught needed to be concluded so the school decided to tentatively complete the semester by the end of June 2020.
The plans and guidelines were readjusted because the ECQ was not lifted earlier. This adjustment provides students time to complete their requirements.
There will no longer be a sit-down proctored final examination and the term assessment will be waived in the computation of the final grade. Grades will be based on the submitted academic outputs prior to the ECQ.
