Likewise, Sections 160 and 189 of DO 88, s. 2010 on school site requirement, e.g., ownership, and sanctions against private schools were amended by DO 041, s. 2022 titled Amendment to DepEd Order No. 88, s. 2010.

 

2. In the exigency of service and to avoid undue displacement of learners, private schools falling under any one of the following criteria shall be granted a period of two years, e.g., from School Year (SY) 2023-2024 until SY 2024-2025, to comply with the requirements for the issuance of permit to operate:

b. those whose application for government recognition were denied but considered for permit renewal,

c. those with new application submitted within the prescribed period, or

This transitory period shall not apply to the mandatory requirements from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the occupancy permit issued by the concerned local government units.

 

3. All other provisions stated in the 2011 Revised Manual of Regulations for Private Schools in Basic Education shall remain effective, unless otherwise amended by other DepEd issuances.
