The Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC) asked the Department of Education (DepEd) to give clarification on teachers’ tasks who were asked to report to their respective schools during the scheduled school break due to the upcoming elections this May.
One week to go bago mag-May 2. Wala pa ring paglilinaw ang DepEd,
said TDC Chairperson Benjo Basas.

In a Facebook post last April 18, DepEd announced that classes in public schools are suspended from May 2 to 13 for national election-related activities and that teachers are still expected to report to their respective schools when there are no activities related to the elections.
Basas said that teachers were forced to comply with the directive to avoid risks and claimed that the announcement created confusion to both teachers and school heads.
That advisory from DepEd with its poster and caption say that teachers who do not have election-related duties will still need to report to schools on those days, while the school calendar declared them as election break,
Basas said.
TDC added that there are some school officials in the field that have ordered their teachers to report to school during the election break as confirmed by the comments in their public posts.
