Vice president-elect and incoming DepEd secretary, Sara Duterte, was urged to realize a reasonable increase in teachers' salary.
Secretary-General Raymond Basilio of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers stressed that they have been fighting against the injustice done to our teachers.
"We know that there are some limitations with the budget but we're doing this injustice to our teachers for several years already. Recently the Supreme Court upheld that the entry-level pay for nurses is Salary Grade 15 or P37,000," said Basilio.
"We have the same qualification for our military personnel, their pay has been increased years ago. It's quite unfair for teachers who have the same qualification and job description have been left out," he added.
Aside from the reasonable increase in teachers' salary, Basilio urged the next DepEd secretary to ensure that schools are ready to accommodate all students for the next school year.
