Following the Department of Education's provision of an accident insurance for all teachers, two teachers' groups have also called on the department to deliver the promised health benefits under the Magna Carta for public school teachers.\u00a0
Teachers' group Action and Solidarity for the Empowerment of Teachers holds a press conference, April 3, 2023, to call attention to the government's uneven compliance with the Magna Carta for Public Teachers, which mandates overtime pay and other medical benefits for public school teachers.
The law also requires the government to shoulder all expenses for teachers' medical treatment and/or hospitalization and cover expenses related to work-related injuries. "Every month, P800 is already deducted from the teachers' salaries for PhilHealth, but to be honest, we do not benefit from this," the teachers' group added.
"It is important to note that this policy covers accidents both here and abroad, whether they are work-related or not," Duterte said.
