The Department of Education (DepEd) is being urged by a teachers’ organization to provide public school teachers with service credits and overtime pay after working for more than the required time to work in a school year.
Extended na nga ang school year, abonado na nga sa distance learning, hindi man lang ba bibigyan ng karampatang kompensasyon ang mga guro sa walang-tigil nilang serbisyo?
ACT Secretary General Raymond Basilio said in a statement.
According to the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT), public school teachers have worked for 77 more working days due to the adjusted school calendar. They were supposedly mandated to work for 220 days only in a school year.
It is not only inhumane to oblige our teachers to extend work for another three months without proper compensation, but the heavy amount of work demanded of them during these times is grossly abusive,
he said.
In earlier reports, DepEd has recently moved the last day of classes to July 10, 2021 which originally was supposed to end on June 11.
