Senator Sonny Angara asked the Department of Education to speed up the release of internet allowance for public school teachers amidst the pandemic.
Angara said this on Friday as the Bayanihan 2, which provides for its funding, is about to expire on the 30th of June 2021.
“We have heard that the DepEd will now be providing connectivity load to their teachers worth 30GB to 35GB worth of data a month starting in June. This should be done with haste especially with the Bayanihan 2 extension expiring on June 30,” said Angara.
He also stressed that public school teachers have been spending from their own pockets just to ensure that they can connect with their students online and so the said allowance should be released the soonest time possible.
“Ang dami na natin nabalitaan tungkol sa mga guro na nahihirapan na sa kanilang budget dahil sila pa ang gumagastos para sa kanilang mga load. Dapat na mabigay na agad sa kanila ang load para sa data lalo na’t matagal na naman nandiyan ang budget para dito,” he added.
