DepEd spokesman Michael Poa said at a press conference that the allowance was aimed at helping teachers return to school.A boy cries while his teacher fixes his face mask during a dry run at Lakan Dula Elementary School in Tondo, Manila on Friday, three days before the formal opening of school year 2022-2023 on Monday.“All teachers will get that. I think it will be downloaded to school divisions. I’ll confirm but everyone will get their P5,000 cash allowance by August 22,” Poa said.
It’s not specifically to ask them to buy face masks. That’s not for it. It’s really for the MOOE. We’re giving them the flexibility to buy whatever they need,” he said. Poa said the low figure is largely due to the voluntary nature of the government’s vaccination program against COVID-19. The DepEd earlier said it will conduct mobile vaccination in schools to increase the vaccination rate among children.
Poa also said the DepEd will be issuing a department order on a COVID-19 infection containment strategy considering the resumption of face-to-face classes. As part of the transition to in-person classes, blended learning will still be implemented and the department is considering it as a permanent mode of instruction for basic education, she said.
