MANILA, Philippines — The government’s task force for COVID-19 response has allowed the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to conduct face-to-face assessments for household service workers in areas under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), Malacañang said Friday.
However, the conduct of the activity is subject to conditions, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
Roque said in-person assessments shall be held only in TESDA Training Institutions and will remain prohibited in private assessment centers.
The activity will also be limited to household service workers who are ready for deployment and have already secured contracts and visas.
“Applicants must further abide by TESDA guidelines relative to the conduct of in-person assessments,” Roque said.
The Palace official likewise announced that the IATF has also allowed the resumption of Career Executive Service Written Examinations and Assessment Centers by the Career Executive Service Board, subject to health and safety protocols and the strict observance of the minimum public health standards.
The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) approved this policy in a meeting on Thursday, May 13.
