A group of teachers on Thursday, June 30, urged newly-inaugurated President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. to fulfill the promises made to the education sector during the campaign period.

“Any new administration signals a new beginning and therefore hope for all of us,” said Teachers’ Dignity Coalition National Chairperson Benjo Basas said in a statement. “But beyond hoping, our teachers will actively push for education reforms and will engage the Marcos administration,” he added.

TDC pointed out that some of the issues that need urgent attention in education were already mentioned by Marcos during the campaign period and after he was proclaimed the winner of the 2022 presidential elections. “He even committed to ensuring that teachers would focus more on teaching and will be liberated from administrative tasks,” Basas said. “Recently, he ordered a review of the K to 12 program — all of these three items are included in our proposal,” he added.

The group is also pushing for free postgraduate education, the provision of free laptop computers and internet services, and the creation of a separate insurance system and hospital for teachers, among other benefits.
