The "no collection policy" will still be observed in all public schools in line with the holding of Christmas parties, according to the regional office of the Department of Education here in Western Visayas.
In a radio interview, DepEd 6 Regional Director Mildred Garay said the "no collection policy" still applies even during Christmas parties.
In case there are contributions, these must be voluntary and if these were decided upon by the Parents-Teachers Association, no teachers are allowed to do the collection activities. The collection should be done by the parents and outside the school premises.
"Definitely teachers should not collect fees, to avoid complaints later," said Garay.
She likewise confirmed that the start of Christmas vacation for public elementary and secondary schools is on December 21 and classes will resume on January 3, 2012.
