DepEd's response on the call for teachers' salary increase

The Department of Education acknowledges the recently filed House Bill No. 9920 which aims to give teachers a salary increase of P50,000 per month.

DepEd spokesperson, Undersecretary Michael Poa, mentioned that the department would participate in the discussions at the House of Representatives when the bill advocating for the said increase in salaries advances to the committee. 

“DepEd will always advocate for additional benefits for our teachers, the department will diligently participate in the congressional deliberations for the said bill,” said Poa.

However, Poa also mentioned that they are still waiting for the results of the study from the World Bank which will be the basis of the department's decision on the salary increase for teachers.
