Executive Order 174 Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)of the Expanded Career Progression for Teachers
Public school teachers in the Philippines are poised to benefit from the newly signed Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for the Expanded Career Progression System under the leadership of Education Secretary Sonny Angara. On Friday, the signing ceremony was held at the Bulwagan ng Karunungan in the DepEd Central Office, a testament to his commitment to the cause.
Alongside Angara were Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman, Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles, and Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) Chair Charito Zamora. Angara highlighted the significance of this initiative in fostering professional development and career advancement for teachers.
Executive Order 174, endorsed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., addresses longstanding issues with the slow promotion process for public school teachers. In his recent State of the Nation Address, President Marcos Jr. emphasized that no public school teacher should retire as Teacher I, underscoring the need for a more dynamic career progression system.
The new IRR introduces additional teaching positions in the Classroom Teaching Career Line: Teacher IV (SG 14), Teacher V (SG 15), Teacher VI (SG 16), Teacher VII (SG 17), and Master Teacher V (SG 22). For those pursuing administrative roles, the career path now includes School Principal I, School Principal II, School Principal III, and School Principal IV.
One of the most promising aspects of this reform is its flexibility. Teachers qualifying for Master Teacher I can choose to stay in classroom teaching or transition to school administration, opening up new avenues for career growth and leadership roles, thereby improving school management quality.
The Department of Education, in partnership with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), will also enhance reclassification processes. This will enable teachers to advance based on merit and competence rather than waiting for teaching positions to open up.
The DepEd is set to collaborate with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) and the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to standardize qualifications for teaching positions across all basic education levels, including Senior High School. This alignment, through a comprehensive approach, aims to create a fairer and more cohesive system for teacher advancement.
These reforms promise a more rewarding career trajectory for public school teachers, fostering their professional growth and improving the quality of education in the Philippines.
