Public school teachers’ promotions now guaranteed
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. signed Republic Act No. 12288, institutionalizing a Career Progression System for Public School Teachers and School Leaders.
This new law aims to promote the professional development and career growth of public school teachers and leaders.
A competency-based promotion system is introduced, enabling teachers in elementary and secondary levels to advance based on merit and qualifications.
The system covers positions from Teacher I to Master Teacher I, with promotions being non-hierarchical and dependent on fitness and competence.
Qualified educators can now enter any position within this expanded system if they meet the qualification standards set by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) and achieve indicators set by the Teacher Education Council (TEC).
The law also directs the Department of Budget and Management to create new teaching positions, including Teacher IV to VII and Master Teacher V and VI, and School Principal V.
