DepEd rolls out expanded career progression system for teachers
The Department of Education (DepEd) has launched an enhanced career progression system to offer teachers more defined, equitable, and competency-based advancement opportunities.
This new system, outlined in DepEd Order No. 024, s. 2025, introduces higher teaching ranks from Teacher IV to VII and Master Teacher V.
It also creates two distinct career paths: Classroom Teaching and School Administration.
A key feature is the reclassification process for promotions, allowing teachers to advance upon meeting qualifications and demonstrating competencies, independent of position vacancies.
Education Secretary Sonny Angara highlighted that this reform addresses previous shortcomings by prioritizing reclassification over competitive promotion, ensuring advancement is based on merit.
Promotions are now grounded in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers and School Heads, emphasizing teaching quality and leadership skills.
A three-year transition period, from February 25, 2025, to February 24, 2028, is in effect for the implementation of these changes.
Existing vacant head teacher and assistant principal positions will be converted to Teacher I roles after 90 days, and other unfilled lower-level teaching positions will be filled within a year of the implementing rules' release.
