The Department of Education (DepEd) is seeking advice from third-party consultants regarding proper salary adjustments for teachers, DepEd Undersecretary Michael Wesley Poa said in a press briefing on Tuesday, July 11. ManilaBulletin READ:
"DepEd alone cannot really just unilaterally change or increase the salaries. This year po nakatanggap ng karagdagang increase yung ating mga guro ," he said, pointing out that teachers' salaries are under the government's salary standardization law.
DepEd t also aims to determine whether teachers need additional wage increases in the next few years, taking inflation into consideration. DepEd is also continually advocating for more benefits for teachers, such as health insurance and free legal aid.Earlier this year, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines urged the government to implement a "significant salary hike" for teachers in response to inflation.
He added that the "measly salary hike installments" over the past four years have failed to address the problems arising from the increasing prices of basic necessities.
