Expedite release of Excellence in Teacher Education Act IRR, agencies told

“The publication of the IRR will help realize the benefits of the law, especially in ensuring that teacher education institutions meet the necessary standards of quality education delivery which is crucial in addressing the current learning crisis in the Philippines,” Philippine Business for Education Executive Director Justine Raagas said in a statement.

PBEd noted that the IRR “has yet to be issued a year after” the Excellence in Teacher Education Act was enacted into law. The IRR, the group stressed, is crucial to start the review of the questions in the Board Licensure Exam for Professional Teachers and its alignment with the Commission on Higher Education’s teacher education curriculum and with what Teacher Education Institutions are teaching. It is also needed for budget allocation for the Teacher Education Scholarship Program for aspiring teachers.

“We value the government’s efforts in addressing the learning crisis and improving teacher education in the country through the enactment of laws, but for purposes of clear implementation, it is imperative that we have a set or written implementing rules to guide us,” Raagas said.

Previously, PBEd participated in the IRR’s stakeholders drafting and consultation and provided policy recommendations that will further push for collaboration between the Professional Regulation Commission, CHED, and TEIs, and further operationalize the TESP.
