“As of Aug. 2, 9 in the morning we have reached 84.19 percent of our target with 23,340,101 learners enrolled out of 27,722,835…we are optimistic in maintaining  momentum in the coming days,”  Department of Education has achieved over 84 percent of its target number of enrollees this year.

Based on breakdown provided by DepEd, 20,406,884 students are enrolled in public schools while 2,634,760 students are enrolled in private schools; 37,868 students are enrolled in state and local universities and colleges and 260,589 students are enrolled under alternative learning system (ALS).
