“A special provision in this year’s budget law also stipulates that the money earmarked for the WTDIB will be released during the annual World Teachers’ Day celebration,” Rillo added.The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization designated October 5 of every year as World Teachers’ Day to celebrate the vital role of teachers in guiding children and adolescents through the learning process.
It also laid down the universal standards for the initial preparation, recruitment, employment and continuing education of teachers. Earlier, Quezon City Fifth District Rep. PM Vargas filed House Bill 4070 to adjust the minimum salary grade level of public school teachers from Salary Grade 11 currently at P25,439 to SG 19 or P49,835.
Teacher organizations have been lobbying for salary increases since the 18th Congress, arguing that Republic Act No. 11466 or the Salary Standardization Law of 2019 was not enough to sustain their living conditions amid inflation and the pandemic, said the lawmaker.
