The Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) has appealed to the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to exempt public school teachers from the new dress code requirement mandating ASEAN- or Filipiniana-inspired attire. The TDC argues that the policy is impractical for teachers due to factors like inadequate ventilation in public schools and the physical demands of their jobs.
Merlina Hernando-MalipotCiting its “impracticality” in public school settings, a group on Tuesday, Jan. 7, urged the Civil Service Commission to exempt public school teachers from the requirement to wear ASEAN - or Filipiniana -inspired attire.
“Unlike many office personnel who perform their tasks in air-conditioned offices, teachers endure extreme heat, especially during the hottest months,” he added.TDC also emphasized that the Department of Education already prescribes “specific uniforms” for teachers that align with their professional identity.
“We are also coordinating with the DepEd on how to respond to this matter, taking into account the context of our public school teachers,” Basas said.Given these considerations, TDC appealed to the CSC to suspend the policy’s implementation or adopt “practical modifications.”
