MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) on Monday announced plans to implement a new learning program in schools impacted by natural disasters.

The Dynamic Learning Program (DLP), DepEd said, aims to address disruptions caused by disasters and other challenges by promoting independent, resource-efficient learning.

DepEd said it will begin the pilot implementation of the DLP in November in sorm and typhoon – affected schools in the Ilocos region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) Bicol region and the Cordillera Administrative Region.

 “We’re bringing resilience to the heart of learning so that no student’s education has to pause when challenges arise,” Education Secretary Sonny Angara said in a statement.

Under the initiative, affected schools are given flexibility to conduct make-up classes and utilize DLP activity sheets—which DepEd describes as “simple, targeted and adaptable”—in temporary learning spaces.

 It also includes parallel classes, activity-based engagement, student portfolios, and a reduced homework policy.

 “The program encourages learners to engage deeply with lessons and build essential skills like writing, problem-solving, and critical thinking,” DepEd said.

DepEd’s initiative comes after almost weeks of suspended classes in several parts of the country due to storms and typhoons.
