The global pandemic forced everyone on the globe to rethink their short-term and long-term plans and deal with the challenges it currently presents.
With this, the Department of Education (DepEd) is now faced with a giant task to move and congregate learners, teachers, and their educational personnel in the Philippines in the midst of the pandemic.
If we’ll take a look at the enrollment in the recent School Year 2019-2020, it shows that the total enrollment of learners from Kindergarten to Grade 12 was 27,770,263.
But the Philippine School Overseas or PSOs are not included with the enrollees mentioned above, which has a total number of 21,786.
All in all, both the local and overseas enrollees have a total of 27,748,477. The 22,572,923 from these enrollees are accounted for by DepEd schools.

There are over 900,000 regular personnel that the Department of Education (DepEd) employs, and more than 800,000 of them are teachers.
The number of contract of service personnel are about 10,000, which are all working in different offices of DepEd, and another 300,000 private school teachers and personnel. (You may take a look at Tables 3, 4, and 5 for the data regarding this one.)
If we sum up it all, we can see that basic education directly accounts close to 30 million learners, teachers, and personnel. Take note that with the said numbers, ancillary services that deal with services such as food, transport, and other services are not included in these numbers.
Of the 108 million current population of the Philippines, the said 30 million figure are equivalent to 27.8 percent of our country’s total population.
By taking a closer look, it is actually 20 percent higher than the overall Filipinos employed in the services sector, which is the largest employer in the Philippines’ labor force.
