As the House Committee on Basic Education held a hearing on the proposed Career Progression System for public teachers, a group called on Congress and DepEd to formulate policies that would ensure a “fair and just” merit and promotion system.
The Teachers' Dignity Coalition called on Congress and the Department of Education to formulate policies that would ensure a “fair and just” merit and promotion system for teachers.
"Sabi po ng ating Saligang Batang dapat ang propesyon ng pagtuturo ay maging kaaya-aya sa mga pinakamahuhusay na guro at panatilihin silang masaya, masipag, kuntento at dedikado sa kanilang napiling bokasyon ,” TDC National Chairperson Benjo Basas said. Currently, Basas said that items such as master teacher at head teacher are limited. “Kadalasan din ang sukatan ng promosyon ng mga guro ay ang naipasa niyang papel o report, diploma o post graduate studies units at hindi kung paano, saan at gaano ba siya katagal na nagturo ,” he added.For TDC, proper rewards and recognition are not given to teachers who patiently teach in remote areas or last-mile schools --- where teachers are most needed.
“Sa palagay ko ay nakapa-unfair nito hindi lang para sa ating mga guro kundi pati na rin sa ating mga mag-aaral, ,” he added.This is the reason why TDC supports the Career Progression Policy which now has two versions, the DepEd version under former President Duterte's EO 174 and the version of the legislature that is now being heard in the House Basic Education Committee.
