DepEd Strengthens School Safety Through Proper Bag Inspection Guidelines
=========================================
In line with our strong commitment to provide a safe, secure, and child-friendly learning environment to all our learners, the Department of Education emphasizes the proper implementation of Bag Inspection Guidelines pursuant to DepEd Order No. 006, s. 2026.
Schools are reminded that bag inspections shall be conducted with respect, fairness, and adherence to established protocols, ensuring the protection and well-being of learners, teaching and non-teaching personnel, and visitors while maintaining a positive school environment.
Bag inspections shall be conducted by authorized personnel. Non-contact inspection methods shall be observed whenever applicable to ensure dignity, privacy, and respect. All schools are expected to implement safety measures without compromising learnersโ rights.
Let us work together in building schools that are not only places of learning, but mostly, are safe spaces for everyone.
