The Department of Education (DepEd) reminded that school-based organization Parents Teachers Association (PTA) must adhere to its policies and guidelines on the prohibition of partisan political activities within school premises.
According to the department, all PTA activities within the school premises or which involve the school, its personnel or students shall be with prior consultation and approval of the school head as stated in DepEd Order No. 54, series of 2009.

Moreover, the relationship of the department with the PTA shall be defined by cooperative and open dialogue with stakeholders to promote the welfare of the students.
The order also pointed out that only one PTA is allowed to operate in a school, which shall be recognized by the school head, and will be valid for one year from the date of election of executive officers.
We continue to recognize and value the partnership of the community, parents, teachers and school administration in ensuring the delivery of quality basic education to learners, especially amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic,
DepEd said.
It wants to ensure that employees are focused on public service and are shielded from the “unpredictability” of politics.
