DepEd undersecretary Annalyn Sevilla said the Ateneo should clarify to its dismissal order for their student who went viral online over a bullying video
Sevilla cited that exclusion as dropping a student from the school rolls and immediately issuing transfer credentials.
However, Expulsion on the other hand, means a student will no longer acceptable to any schools (public or private) schools in the Philippines. It requires the prior approval of the Deped secretary.
If the penalty was for exclusion, the student may apply for transfer to other schools. But schools can reject, especially private schools has qualifications for admission - academic, psycho-social fitness, moral,etc," Sevilla said.
"Admission of students to public schools also requires submission of certificate of good moral character," Sevilla added.
If the originating school refused to issue the said certificate, the public school head must have an agreement with the student and parents concerned on certain guidelines that need to be met, either academic, moral, etc, Sevilla explained.
"Deped cannot offer anything to him pag expulsion. They can do homeschooling on their own but Deped will not be able to issue credentials for him," Sevilla added.
