Catch-Up Fridays is a new DepEd program that will be implemented nationwide starting January 2024. It will take place every Friday and focus on reinforcing reading skills, values education, health education, and peace education. The mornings will focus on the National Reading Program and the afternoons will cover values, health and peace topics in an integrated manner. The program aims to address learning gaps and strengthen crucial skills to support curriculum goals. Teachers will facilitate based on their subject assignments and monitor progress through reflection journals.
