Paliwanag ni Rep. Castro sa isang pahayag, maraming mga guro, mag-aaral, at kanilang mga pamilya ang nagpositibo o ‘di kaya ay nakararanas ngayon ng sintomas ng COVID-19.
Dagdag niya pa, makatutulong ang break upang makapagpagaling nang husto ang mga may karamdaman ngayon.
“With record breaking numbers of daily positive cases, we appeal to the Department of Education to consider implementing an academic health break in areas under alert level 3 to give our students, teachers and their parents time to rest and recuperate from the onslaught of the surge of the Omicron variant,” sabi ni Rep. Castro sa isang pahayag.

“Giving our teachers and the students time to rest, especially amid the ongoing surge would allow them to focus on their health and recovery.”
Makatutulong din daw ang pagpapahinga upang maging mas epektibo sa pagtuturo ang mga gurong tinamaan ng sakit.
“By allowing an academic health break, teachers can focus on their own health and welfare during this time. Allowing our teachers to rest will also help them deliver better quality education once they are recovered instead of fighting through a virus and teaching online,” sabi pa ni Rep. Castro.

Nakiusap din siya sa DepEd na magsagawa ng monitoring para sa kanilang mga tauhan na tinamaan ng virus nang sa gayon ay matugunan ang kanilang mga pangangailangan.
“To be able to adequately address the demands of our teachers and students for their welfare, the DepEd should first make sure they have adequate monitoring of the number of infected teachers, personnel and students.”
Umaasa raw sila na pakikinggan ng DepEd ang kanilang panawagan.
Nasa Alert Level 3 ngayon ang Metro Manila at ilang karatig-probinsya.
