MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) approved the creation of 2,000 new teaching positions for the Alternative Learning System (ALS) of the Department of Education (DepEd).
In a statement on Thursday, August 16, the DBM said the new government posts were created to boost the ALS. It’s a program that helps elementary and secondary school dropouts, as well as those not able to receive formal schooling.
ALS teachers have a Teacher I rank, which corresponds to Salary Grade 11 with a P20,179 monthly gross salary.
The new posts are spread nationwide, with Bicol needing the most teachers at 192 vacancies:
The DBM said the funding requirement is charged against the P39-billion New School Personnel Positions of the 2018 General Appropriations Act or national budget.
On top of the ALS teacher vacancies, there are 125,000 vacant teaching positions in the government. – Rappler.com
