On Tuesday, the Department of Education (DepEd) promises to provide assistance to teachers as well as its non-teaching personnel affected by typhoon Rolly and Ulysses.
I have directed all field offices, through their respective regional directors, to submit lists of teachers and personnel who were severely affected by the recent typhoons and flooding. These lists will be utilized to fully assist our people in need during these times,
Briones said in a statement.
She also said that DepEd is making headway in helping its personnel in getting the calamity loans being offered by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and other private lending institutions.
Briones said provident fund emergency loans will be available for teaching and non-teaching personnel distressed by the typhoons. This, she added, will be on top of the year-end bonus that is equivalent to one-month salary as well as the P5,000 cash gift for personnel that will be released soon.
In addition, funds have been downloaded to provide hygiene kits and conduct clean-up drive and psychosocial first aid to affected schools. We also engaged our external partners to deliver donations directly to schools,
Briones said.
On Monday, DepEd Undersecretary for Finance Annalyn Sevilla said the department will release additional funding for the reproduction or replacement of damaged self-learning modules.
