Summary
GMA News covers the launch of Project LIGTAS+ and its aim of enabling more localized decisions on class suspensions and resumptions. DepEd Undersecretary Malcolm Garma said the platform is meant to deliver "more granular data, more science-based, more data-based decision-making" by consolidating hazard information and school-level risk data, so calls can be made per school rather than across an entire area.
The report notes that LIGTAS+ was developed with the Education Center for AI Research to strengthen disaster preparedness and reduce learning disruption.
