DepEd promotes 16,000 teachers
The Department of Education (DepEd) has promoted 16,000 teachers under its Expanded Career Progression (ECP) for Teachers program, with an additional 41,000 teachers scheduled for promotion.
This initiative, established through Republic Act No. 12288, aims to address significant promotion backlogs and ensure timely career advancement for the country's nearly 900,000 public school teachers.
Education Secretary Sonny Angara highlighted that the ECP reform is designed to recognize teachers' actual classroom service and prevent delays in career advancement.
Previously, rigid structures and persistent backlogs hindered teachers' promotions, sometimes taking decades for advancement.
The new system ensures that new teachers will not have to wait long for their first promotion and that their career ranks will keep pace with their growing responsibilities.
