Metro Manila, Philippines – Teachers and schools will be allowed to put-up visual aids and posters on classroom walls for school year 2025 to 2026 as the Department of Education (DepEd) said they do not pose a distraction from students’ learning, a contrast to Vice President Sara Duterte’s previous order of leaving classroom walls bare.

DepEd Assistant Secretary Carmela Oracion told NewsWatch Plus that visual aids such as the letters of the alphabet on walls of classrooms for kinder to early elementary students “complete” the learning set-up.

“I don’t consider them as a distraction,” Oracion said on Friday, June 13. “These are not prohibited. Teachers may place them.”
