It said the roles of teachers during a pandemic should be emphasized in RA 4670 as well as the inclusion of policies responsive to emergencies and health crises.
In its policy brief entitled, “The Rights of Public School Teachers in Mangaldan, Pangasinan During the Pandemic: Status, Challenges, and Recommendations,” the CHR said that the sudden shift from face-to-face traditional learning to remote learning has raised crucial economic and social issues. “Teachers were left with no choice but to continue some of their regular undertakings during the pandemic, to the point of putting themselves at risk of acquiring the deadly virus just to ensure that the modules and learning materials reach the students,” it said.
Should they engage in any other activities outside of normal duties, he law provides that “any teacher shall be paid an additional compensation of at least twenty-five percent of his regular remuneration after the teacher has completed at least six hours of actual classroom teaching a day,” it said.
