BACK FULL F2F Marianne Janna Ll. Balderama The beginning of the second semester of Academic Year (A.Y.) 2022-2023 saw the return of high school students to the Bicol University College of Education Integrated Laboratory School - High School (BUCEILS-HS) building, just in time for the return of full faceto-face classes in the department. To prepare the facilities for use, a Brigada Eskwela was arranged by BUCEILS-HS officials on January 16-17, 2023. High school students and their

Therefore, me having to analyze the variables as well, I have concluded and strongly believe that the return of face-to-face classes in BUCEILS-HS is the right decision for the whole of BUCEILS-HS when we look at the bigger picture of the situation,” another student added.
