[Asia News Communication = Reporter Reakkana] MANILA  —  An SWS survey suggests around 4.4 million school-age Filipinos weren’t enrolled in school in late 2020 as learning shifted to the modular mode, PhilStar reported. According to the local pollster, 87% or 29.8 million of 5- to 20-year-olds were in school, but another 13% weren’t.

Students aged 18-20 made up 40%, or 1.76 million, while children aged 5-6 comprised 15% of the total. Another 13% not in school were aged 16-17 while those between 12 and 15 years (4%) and between 7 and 11 (3%) made up the rest. The SWS survey ran from November 21 to 25 of 2020 and had 1,500 adult respondents who were asked if each of their household members between 5- to 20-years-old was enrolled. 

It had 600 participants in Balance Luzon, while 300 each in Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao, which yielded a ±2.5% sampling margin of error. Classes under distance learning for some 25 million students began in October 2020, with the enrollment figure down by two million from 2019, according to education department figures. The number of college students enrolled, meanwhile, is unclear since the Commission on Higher Education hasn’t published figures.
