The Department of Education (DepEd) said on Friday that over 22,000 new non-teaching positions will help ease teachers’ workload nationwide amid the nationwide rollout of the three-term calendar.
“We are thankful to President Marcos and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) because this is a big help in easing the administrative works of our teachers,” Education Secretary Juan Edgardo “Sonny” M. Angara said in Filipino in a news release.
“With these new positions, our teachers can better focus on teaching and improving the education quality of our country,” he added.
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines earlier warned that teachers may be affected by the additional workload that comes with the implementation of the three-term calendar.
