KLD has officially adopted a flexible learning modality for the First Semester of Academic Year 2025-2026! This plan reflects the KLD’s proactive approach in aligning with the latest guidelines from the Commission on Higher Education while prioritizing the quality and safety of its academic environment.
The new approach will be a hybrid model, combining both face-to-face and online instruction. For general education (GE), physical education (PE), and most major courses, the delivery will be split evenly: 50% will be conducted on-site (face-to-face) and 50% off-site (online). The online portion can be a mix of synchronous (live, scheduled) and asynchronous (self-paced) sessions.
To ensure the new modality is effective, the plan includes a detailed framework for how courses will be delivered and assessed. While most courses will follow the hybrid model, all laboratory classes and hands-on courses, such as clinical practicums and skills labs, will be conducted entirely face-to-face. This guarantees that students in fields like engineering, nursing and midwifery receive the essential practical experience required for their professions. Additionally, the new system ensures academic integrity by mandating that major examinations for all professional and science courses will be administered on-site, scheduled during designated weeks in the academic calendar. The institutionalization of this flexible plan is a testament to KLD’s dedication to providing a dynamic, resilient, and high-quality educational experience for all its students.
