The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has given 1,638 “provisional” teachers priority status in the 2021 Licensure Exam for Professional Teachers (LEPT), Education Secretary Leonor Briones said on Saturday, June 5.
DepEd said the teachers’ provisional appointments are set to expire by July this year.
“We are thankful to the PRC for immediately accommodating our request to include provisional SHS teachers in the first batch of examinees in this year’s LEPT. This would ensure that we have sufficient manpower to allow us to provide unhampered delivery of education services, especially during this time of health crisis,” Briones said in a statement on Saturday, June 5.

TDC national chairperson Benjo Basas said the teachers, who were hired on probationary status since 2016, were told that their last day would be today, May 31, following their failure to secure a teaching license or take the licensure examination under a provision of Republic Act 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, popularly known as the K-12 Law.
“These colleagues have consistently performed satisfactory to excellent tasks as evidenced by their continuous rehiring up to the present school year. They have contributed greatly to the success of DepEd’s Senior High School program as pioneers in spite of the system’s challenges due to birth pains and thus, are considered assets of the Department,” Basas said in a statement.
