Upgrading of Salary Grade Level of Teachers from 11 to 19 pushed
Re-electionist Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara stressed the need for government to increase the take home pay of public school teachers if it wants to improve the quality of education in the country.Angara hopes the teacher’s pay adjustment would be equivalent or close to the rate he has been pushing since 2016 when he filed Senate Bill No. 135.
Upgrading of Salary Grade Level of Teachers from 11 to 19 pushed
The bill seeks to adjust the minimum salary grade level of teachers from Salary Grade 11 to 19, or double their current monthly base pay of ay of P20,754 will be raised to P45, 269 based on Fourth Final Tranche 2019, Salary Standardization Law of 2015 (SSL 2015) Salary Grade Table / Schedule.HSB Explanatory Note:Public school teachers are among the most underpaid workers, given their workload and role in the society. Despite the fact that they are heralded as molders of our children’s future and second parents to our children, public school teachers receive a basic salary that does not equate to their contribution. Our teachers are considered to be the heart of the educational system. Hence, the government needs to give priority to their welfare and interests. The low salaries received by our public school teachers have been a major disincentive for them to improve their skills in teaching and pursue further education and training. More so, our public schools have failed to attract the best and the brightest graduates from the top colleges and universities because of low salary levels, preventing our public education system from benefiting from the knowledge and expertise of outstanding teachers. Especially with the recent implementation of the K-12 law, having inspired and capable teachers is probably one of the best investments our government could make. In this regard, this bill seeks to raise the minimum salary grade level of teachers from the current Salary Grade 11 to 19. With this increase in salaries, more qualified and competent educators will be attracted to teach in public schools. Definitely, this will greatly help in motivating our teachers to strive for excellence in their field and thus, improve the quality of education in the public school system.
