Multigrade classes bring more children to school

Will a teacher not hold class if there are just a few enrollees? Should a
student drop out if the school is far from home or there is not enough
teachers and classroom?
If you ask the Department of Education, the answer is no because it
continues to find ways to bring children to school in order to complete their
basic education.
One of these is the holding of multigrade classes. A multigrade class is a
class consisting of two or more different grade levels inside a single grade
classroom handled by one teacher for an entire school year. It is offered in
elementary schools located in distant and sparsely-populated localities.
Figures from DepEd show that there are close to a million enrollees in
multigrade classes across the country.
