5K chalk allowance
By Creselda Canda-Lopez
“Chalk allowance will be released very soon, in time for opening of classes…that’s how it’s timed…when classes open, teachers already have allowance for their needs….whatever’s lacking in their classroom, they can augment with that,” public school teachers will receive their P5,000 teaching supplies allowance before classes open on Monday, Education Secretary Sonny Angara said.
Angara said now that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.has signed Kabalikat sa Pagtuturo Act, public school teachers can expect to receive P10,000 in teaching supplies allowance next school year.
“Cash allowance will be P5,000 this year…for the first time, it’s tax-free…next year, under the law, it would be P10,000…so, every teacher will receive that,” Angara said.
Last month, Marcos signed Kabalikat sa Pagtuturo Act, mandates P10,000 teaching allowance for public school teachers starting School Year 2025-2026.
Aside from this, Angara said Department of Education would be proposing creation of additional teaching positions beyond Teacher I and Teacher III, as part of Marcos’ pledge during his State of the Nation Address.
The President said government has allocated funds to implement expanded career progression system for public school teachers, shall allow teachers to advance ranks and no longer have “public school teachers retiring as mere Teacher I,” referring to the lowest public school teacher rank.
“What we’re advocating is promotion based on merit, because that’s what many teachers are frustrated about…they’ve been teachers for so long and yet they have never been promoted,” Angara said.
