Based on the data provided by the Manila Division of City Schools, there were 270,219 public school enrollees as of Friday, more than the earlier projection of 268,972.
In an online broadcast, Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso said the increase might be due the fact that the coronavirus pandemic had left some parents without jobs, forcing them to pull out their children from private schools.
“We prepared a buffer for the number of enrollees this coming school year because we know that life has been hard these past few months. We anticipate that it will be even harder in the near future, and that is why we predicted that private school students may be transferring to public schools,” he added. There were no figures available, however, on how many of the enrollees were transferees from private schools.
