The House Committee on Basic Education and Culture on Tuesday, Nov. 29, approved two bills that would strengthen students’ access to a creative arts track in secondary school and would improve the welfare of public school teachers through the creation of new teaching positions with higher salary grade assignments.
During the deliberations, Romulo revealed that the measure creating a Philippine High School for Creative Arts System was already approved in the 18th Congress because it fulfills the K-12 academic track for creative arts and design. “The part of the curriculum with pertains to arts and design or to the creative arts will be crafted by the NCCA together with the other cultural agencies in the Philippines to ensure that we are able to keep up to date whatever talents we have to develop,” he said.
Under HB 1580, introduced by Romualdez and Tingog Party-list Rep. Jude Acidre, four new positions—Teacher IV, Teacher V, Teacher, VI, and Teacher VII, would be formed.
