The Kabataan Party-list is urging President Rodrigo Duterte to implement a two-week academic 'health break' in areas under Alert Level 3 or higher.

While several local government units have already declared a"health break," subsequently suspending classes in their areas amid rising COVID cases, the Kabataan Party-list wants the national government to formally issue the order.

"In this light, Kabataan Party-list calls on President Duterte and the IATF to declare a two-week academic health break at all levels, public and private, in areas under Alert Level 3 or higher as may be designated by IATF in the coming days," it added.

Given the situation, the group said the government must"institutionalize the easing of academic requirements, and to distribute emergency student aid."
