PUBLIC school teachers may have to wait longer for the much awaited salary hike. But if there’s any consolation they’ve got, they would somehow be relieved of tasks which have nothing to do with teaching as the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) approved the creation of 5,000 non-teaching positions.
In a news release sent via email, the DBM said the creation of non-teaching positions for 2024 was requested by the Department of Education (DepEd) so teachers would be relieved from the burden of performing administrative tasks amid lack or absence of non-teaching personnel in schools.
Prior to the DBM approval, DepEd issued Memorandum Order No. 002 (series of 2024) removing administrative tasks from the workload of teachers, enabling them to focus and maximize their time on the teaching and learning process.
“Our educators already have their plates full. By approving the creation of 5,000 non-teaching positions, we aim to relieve teachers of administrative tasks and allow them to focus on quality instruction. This move will significantly benefit our educators and enhance the country’s education system,” said Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman in the press statement.
The new non-teaching positions with a plantilla rank of Administrative Officer II with wage corresponding Salary Grade 11, will be evenly distributed in various regions. (ANGEL F. JOSE)
