+ A GOOD news in times of Pandemic.
The Department of Education (DepEd) has encouraged high school Science and Mathematics teachers to apply for a government-provided graduate scholarship, through Part-Time Scholarship for Science and Mathematics Teachers of the Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) as part of delivering quality education.
DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said that these challenges are confronting us and as we face this pandemic [and] she doubts that this will be our last pandemic, there will be more of them, we’ll be needing more scientists, more people in science and technology.
As stipulated in DepEd Memorandum No. 15, p. 2021, the grant is open for High School Science and Mathematics (S&M) teachers currently working with a teaching load and teaching experience of at least seven years. Once selected, the awardees will also receive a P20,000 tuition grant per semester and P60,000 thesis grant.
