MANILA, Philippines – Filipino teachers are being lured to Japan by better pay and benefits as an organization helping them continues to push for a raise in their monthly wages which, coupled with other problems, such as unmanageable class sizes, has resulted in poor student performance in the Philippines.
According to the Alliance of Concerned Teachers , teachers in public or private schools in the Philippines are underpaid. On behalf of teachers in the public school system, the group advocates for an increase from P27,000 to more than P36,000 per month for the Teacher 1 category. MANAGEABLE.

When she searched for gainful employment overseas, she replied to job ads for English teachers in other Asian countries, but she was most serious about pursuing her applications to Japan because of her positive experience during a short training stint and because it offered the highest salary among her prospects.
Resurreccion said she earns almost thrice what she used to receive as a Teacher II in the Philippines, and her husband and son are preparing to join her in the next few years on dependent visas. Since he enjoyed the two years spent in Japan, where his older sister lives with her family, Aquino applied for a post as an assisted language teacher under the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program.
