A total of 149 senior high school teachers who were given provisional appointments face termination due to lack of qualification in Zamboanga City.

Dr. Rosalio Conturno Jr., education supervisor for school governance and operations chief of the City Schools Division, said that the teachers were hired in 2016 and 2017 according to the Notice of Termination issued by the Department of Education’s (DepEd) central office.
These senior high school teachers were given five years moratorium to pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). If they failed (or) did not take the exam, then they will be replaced if there are applicants who are LET passers,
Conturno said.
Since DepEd needed teachers for senior high school when the K-12 curriculum was implemented, the teachers were hired even though they were not LET passers. They were assigned to different senior high schools in the city.
However, Conturno noted that in case no qualified teachers have been found to replace them, they would be automatically rehired for another school year.
He added that due to the COVID-19 pandemic last year, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has not administered a licensure examination since.
