Decision of the Department of Education (DepEd) Executive Committee (ExeCom) to Implement New Sets of DepEd Uniform Designs for School Year 2020-2021 and 2021-2022

The Department of Education Uniform Committee (DUC) for School Years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 through the issuance of DepEd Memorandum No. 017, s. 2020 was created to facilitate and prepare the guidelines for the selection of the uniform designs and materials that will be most appropriate and suitable for the teachers and non-teaching employees.

The new Sets of National Uniforms Guidelines
a. General availability of the textile materials in the market;
b. comfort and durability of the textile materials. The quality of the fabric should be adaptable to the weather conditions and the environment of concerned personnel; and on over-all look: age, body built, and skin tone will also be considered in the design process.

The design of the uniforms will be in the simplest form to allow unrestricted movement. No specific textile/ fabric will be prescribed, for as long as the fabric used will follow the guidelines set that will be captured in a separate memorandum to be released by the end of April 2020, or when regular/ normal operations resume.

The annual clothing and uniform allowance in the amount of Six Thousand Pesos (P6,000.00) shall be released to all personnel, immediately upon the release of the Notice of Cash Allocation from DBM,
