Teachers to receive P5,000 chalk allowance on July 29, says Angara
Public school teachers will receive a P5,000 tax-free chalk allowance starting July 29, just in time for the opening of classes.
Education Secretary Sonny Angara confirmed that this allowance will help teachers purchase necessary classroom supplies and equipment.
The Kabalikat sa Pagtuturo Act, signed by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. last month, mandates this increased allowance.
Next year, the chalk allowance is set to increase to P10,000, as stipulated by the new law.
