The Alliance of Concerned Teachers called on President Duterte to urgently address “the serious welfare issues of public school teachers that erode their capacities, health, and morale, and put education continuity in jeopardy.”

MANILA – Public school teachers are working longer hours while lacking support from the government in implementing distance learning for school year 2020-2021, a recent survey by the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) showed.
The survey was conducted from March 29 to April 11 with 6,731 public school teachers as respondents. The survey showed that more than 70 percent of the teachers deem the distance learning workload “as negatively impacting on their physical and mental health.”

Undersecretary for Planning, and Human Resource and Organizational Development Jesus Mateo provided updates for the 2020 and 2021 PBB in a statement issued March 16.
For 2020, Mateo noted that the department aims for recalibration to make sure that DepEd will be fully eligible and “no one will be isolated” from the PBB.
Mateo then reminded offices to be “mindful of the deadlines for the submissions of indicators” for future PBBs.
For the 2019 PBB, Mateo said that the teaching and majority of the non-teaching personnel of the DepEd are set to receive their bonuses after the AO25 Task Force declared the department eligible for the annual incentive.
