A group of teachers urged DepEd to open the classes for the School Year 2021-2022 on October 4, 2021, so teachers may get their well-deserved rest as they have been tasked to work for 13 months straight.
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) came up with this proposal right after the DepEd announced its initial plan to open the next school year on August 23, 2021.
“It is already too much that teachers are made to work for 13 straight months in the current school year, and shortening their much-needed break after the taxing first year of distance learning is just plain abuse,” said Raymond Basilio, ACT Secretary-General.
DepEd, however, clarified that this is just one of the options the department is looking into and the President is yet to give the final decision on the official opening of classes.
ACT stressed that the opening of classes for the School Year (SY) 2021-2022 should not be earlier than September 13 to give teachers time to rest.
Basilio pressed DepEd that teachers are entitled to complete their "80 days proportional vacation pay" in a school year.
“It is either they pay our teachers with 25 percent of daily pay for each day of overtime work, or convert such to more rest days, which is equivalent to 19 day – with this, the opening of the next school year can be scheduled on Oct. 4,” Basilio added.
