Department of Education (DepEd) is currently studying the possible increase in the salary of public school teachers to P39,000 a month.
This was confirmed by the Education Secretary Leonor Briones. She shared that the financial managers reviewed the proposed hike to ensure that it would not create a huge gap between the salaries of other government workers.
She pointed out that the Proposed hike should have to be carefully planned in terms of the financial requirements.
DepEd is currently studying the possible increase in the monthly pay of government teachers in the country.
This is a good news for our educators since it has been long-delayed and teachers have long-deserved such. As the starting salary of public school teachers is at P19,000 per month but may total P23,000 when the benefits or allowances are included.
DepEd is now looking into the possibility of increasing the salary of public school teachers to P39,000 a month, an amount that will add P200 billion to the national budget.
