VOWING to continue pushing public school teachers’ long-time clamor for pay hikes, Senator Joel Villanueva also suggested that a “more realistic measure” the Marcos government can promptly provide is to increase their allowances.
This even as he acknowledged “a realistic measure that may be immediately addressed would be an increase in allowance of public school teachers,” including those in State Universities and Colleges and state-run technical vocational institutions . He asserted that the era of missing classrooms, sharing tables and chairs and holding classes under the shade of trees “must no longer happen.”
The senator affirmed teachers are skilled professionals doing increasingly complex and challenging work, noting that “outside of their academic tasks, we know of teachers who end up spending their own money to shoulder classroom-related expenses and to assist needy students so they continue to be in school.”
