INCREASE ENTRY LEVEL RATE OF TEACHERS

ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro stressed the need to increase the entry level rate of public school teachers to Salary Grade 12 to help them cope with inflation.

“Though this is still far from the SG 15 demand of teachers this may at least help them in the meantime to stave off inflation as we still push for the SG 15 entry level salary of teachers,” Castro said.

The lawmaker also pushed for the retention of the head teacher position under House Bill 1580, the proposed law creating higher level teaching positions.

“I hope that the head teachers demand that Salary Grade 12 should be the entry level for teachers as well as the retention of the head teacher positions would be carried on the substitute bill for HB 1580 and head teachers should intensify their campaign to make this happen,” Castro said.

She said that in elementary, head teachers are normally assigned as teacher-in-charge especially in small schools in the provinces.

In secondary schools, they help principals in the performance of their administrative work.
