DepEd set to release a maximum SRI amounting to Php 20,000

The Department of Education (DepEd) is preparing to distribute a Php 20,000 Service Recognition Incentive (SRI) to both teaching and non-teaching staff. This marks the first time the department's personnel will receive the maximum permissible grant, with the disbursement scheduled to commence on December 20, 2024.

Under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., Education Secretary Sonny Angara, alongside Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman, collaborated to ensure the full Php 20,000 SRI is available for 2024.

Following the issuance of Administrative Order No. 27 by the Office of the President, DepEd has initiated the processes required for the release of the SRI 2024 — the largest in the agency's history.

“This is a historic moment for DepEd, as we are able to grant the highest SRI ever for our workforce. We are deeply grateful to President Marcos Jr. for his steadfast support in prioritizing the welfare of teachers and staff who serve as the backbone of the education sector,” Secretary Angara said.

Secretary Sonny Angara expressed his appreciation to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and DBM Secretary Amenah Pangandaman for their efforts to guarantee that both educators and support staff receive the complete SRI for their dedicated service in basic education.
