  • The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) directed all higher education institutions (HEIs) to shift to 100% online classes due to a national oil crisis, per Memorandum No. 117, s. 2026.
  • Laboratory and skill-based classes must remain onsite or be conducted through alternative methods.
  • The advisory lasts until the end of the 2025-2026 academic year, and rising oil prices linked to Middle East conflicts underscore the context.
