The suggestion that the Department of Education (DepEd) hire 30,000 teachers yearly and for the education budget to be 6% of gross domestic product was unrealistic and impossible, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte said on Monday.
In a bid to improve the quality of education, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers had called for the hiring of 30,000 new teachers annually until 2028 as this would resolve the teacher shortage and decrease class sizes to 35 students.
Duterte, however, called the suggestions “obviously deceptive maneuvers deliberately designed to counter the Marcos administration’s solution to the problems hounding the education sector.” Duterte said that DepEd intends to continue hiring additional teaching and non-teaching personnel this year, and is also set to deploy more administrative officers in schools to complement its workforce and reduce the administrative tasks of teachers., according to spokesperson Michael Poa on Thursday.
