HB No.1851 proposes a significant increase in the salary grade level of public elementary and high school teachers from Grade 11 to Grade 19 amid the non-stop rise in the cost of living.
On the other hand, HB No. 1849 seeks to make permanent the school supply allowance of P5,000 that public school teachers have been entitled to during the Covid-19 pandemic. It further provides for a continuous increase in the allowance every year.“Despite their heavy workload and essential role as agents of constructive intellectual, social, cultural, political and moral change in our society, our public school teachers are among the most underpaid workers in the country," he said.
“Increasing their takehome pay and providing for a permanent teaching supplies allowance with a provision for a steady bump per school year will hopefully incentivize them to strive for excellence in their field and make teaching a more attractive profession for our students,” added the Bicolano.
