A teachers’ federation on Saturday welcomed the creation of new teacher positions as announced by the Department of Education (DepEd) but warned that this may be “futile” if the absorptive capacities of schools will not be increased.

The Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines welcomed and supported the creation of new positions that will “serve as opportunities for career development for teachers.” However, the group expressed concern that this “will not suffice” in increasing the absorptive capacities of schools.

While ACT supported the creation of new positions, it noted that this “should be implemented along with immediate moves to address the perennial problems in schools.” This, the group added, will allow teachers “to gain strides towards improving the over-all state of the Philippine education system.”The creation of teacher position, Malaluan said, is part of reforms being implemented and initiated by DepEd in its pivot from access to quality.

The group cited that teachers and students still “suffer” due to “severe shortages at schools.” These include the lack of learning resources, faulty or weak and substandard facilities, insufficient classrooms, inadequate number of teachers, zero education support personnel in school – among others.
