“DO 49 seeks to, number one, depoliticize ‘yung DepEd, number two…seeks to promote professionalism within our ranks. So hindi lang teachers ‘yan, pati rin po DepEd personnel,” he said.“Sa aming pananaw, there is no infringement of any basic rights such as freedom of expression, freedom of speech, specifically with telling them not to go to politicians para po maiparating ‘yung kanilang concerns,” he added.
The Department of Education on Monday denied claims that the order mandating its personnel to avoid relationships and communication with learners outside of the school setting violates the right to free speech., a set of policies recently released to promote professionalism in the delivery of basic education programs, is only a reiteration of the Code to Conduct for civil servants, which includes public school teachers.
“Sa aming pananaw , there is no infringement of any basic rights such as freedom of expression, freedom of speech, specifically with telling them not to go to politicians para po maiparating ‘yung kanilang concerns ,” he added. They should also “raise issues and concerns regarding basic education via formal and appropriate DepEd channels, either directly to the Office of the Secretary or through the concerned Assistant Secretary or Undersecretary, without resorting to any political or third-party intervention or accommodation.”
As to the use of social media for communication purposes, Poa said that it is not considered “outside of school setting” as long as class matters are being discussed.
