Teacher’s uniform for SY 2013-2015

MANILA, Philippines – Picture this: your teacher is scolding you for not wearing your school uniform properly, but he/she seems to be on a self-proclaimed ‘civilian day’ himself/herself.

Teachers should set a good example, right? 

On the first day of school year 2013-2014, they should be sporting a new look, according to the Department of Education. This look shall last until SY 2014-2015.

How should it look like? Here are the designs for females:

For male:

DepEd Memorandum No. 7 s. 2013 said that an annual clothing and uniform allowance shall be released in the full amount of P5,000 cash to both teachers and non-teaching personnel of the Department of Education.

With this, they should be able to purchase and obtain the prescribed uniform materials from any available source that complied with the standards set by the National Uniform Committee.

It is hard to get kids to wear their uniform properly in public schools nowadays, especially for those in high school. 

Somehow, some of the kids find a way to wear sneakers and slippers instead of the required black leather shoes, for girls to cut their skirt shorter, and for boys to wear colored undershirts.

Before your teacher gives your son a nagging because he wore his polo unbuttoned, make sure their teachers set a good example by wearing their uniform properly.
