Update on the new promotions scheme for teachers


The Department of Education (DepEd) is finalizing a new promotion policy for public school teachers. Once finalized, the updated policy will be submitted to the Department of Budget and Management for approval and implementation.


Education Undersecretary Jesus Mateo said the new policy will address concerns of teachers with regard to career development. The new policy will enable teachers to be promoted to higher positions based on their attainment of set competencies rather than waiting for a vacancy like in the present set-up.

According to the statement of Department of Education (DepEd) representative, teachers will have a career path from Teacher I to Teacher VII (Salary Grade 11 to Salary Grade 17) and Master Teacher 1 to Master Teacher IV (Salary Grade 18 to Salary Grade 21).
