While teachers are ready for the partial reopening of schools during the pilot run of limited face-to-face classes, a group urged the government to protect their welfare by giving them less non-teaching duties.
“Our teachers have been at the forefront of the call for safe school reopening and have been involved in the planning and preparation of its pilot run,” Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines Secretary General Raymond Basilio said.
However, the group demanded for key health and safety measures to ensure the protection of teachers and learners. He also underlined that special vaccination program should be undertaken in the areas where pilot face-to-face classes are being held, especially since vaccine roll-out in these localities were late and insufficient.
The group also called for the provision of hazard pay to teachers who will participate in the face-to-face learning.
