A federation of teachers organizations on Thursday urged the Department of Education (DepEd) to “extend maximum assistance” to its sick employees by taking care of their treatment expenses and providing sick leave benefits to teachers and personnel amid the COVID-19 situation in the country.
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines made this call after verifying a report that said 11 teachers and staff from DepEd Region VII have “tested positive for COVID-19.”
ACT said that it has confirmed the reports about two teachers and nine non-teaching DepEd personnel in Region VII who were found to be infected with the COVID-19. Basilio said that this incident brings anxiety to almost one million DepEd teachers and employees who were ordered to report physically for work starting on Monday, June 22.
