With the technical guidance from the Department of Health (DOH) and other child health
expert organizations, the Department of Education (DepEd) formulated the operational guidelines
on the pilot implementation of face-to-face learning modality in preparation for the eventual school
reopening. The guidelines aim to ensure that students, school staff, their families, and surrounding
communities are afforded the maximum amount of protection against COVID-19.
The pilot implementation of face-to-face classes will provide essential insights on the
expansion of reopening of schools, hence,the coordination of the Central Of fice and schools is
critical in this undertaking.

Objectives
This communications plan aims to:
• Guide key communicators of the pilot face-to-face classes in developing and crafting
messages and interventions to concerned stakeholders; and
• Provide documentation and media management protocols for the pilot run of face-to-face
classes; and
• Establish field coordination and crisis management protocol for possible scenarios for the
duration of the pilot face-to-face classes.

Stakeholder Mapping
As long as the threat of COVID-19 exists, education stakeholders face daunting challenges in
the reintroduction of physical classes.
Communication will play a big role in establishing interventions to address issues that may
hamper the pilot implementation and its eventual expansion.
