The Commission on Higher Education said Friday it has approved the resumption of limited face-to-face classes in 23 colleges and universities for the second semester of academic year 2020-2021.
The approved higher education institutions complied with the guidelines set by regulatory bodies which means their third year and fourth year college students can resume hands-on training and laboratory classes in a limited face-to-face system, the CHED said.
