DBM OKs 10,000 non-teaching positions for DepEd

The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) on Thursday announced it had approved 10,000 non-teaching positions for the Department of Education (DepEd). 'I am happy to confirm that we've approved a total of 10,000 non-teaching positions to provide our teachers with necessary support. This is on top of the 16,000 newly created teaching positions in public schools that we have recently approved for school year 2025 to 2026," Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman said in a statement. Pangandaman said the approved positions will occupy Administrative Officer II posts with Salary Grade 11 to be distributed in elementary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools in all regions nationwide. Concerned DBM regional offices shall issue the corresponding Notice of Organization, Staffing, and Compensation Action (NOSCA) directly to the DepEd schools division offices based on the deployment report submitted by DepEd. 'Actually, this is a campaign promise fulfilled by our beloved President. Noong una pa lang po, pinangako na ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na bibigyan niya ng kinakailangang suporta ang ating mga guro para padaliin ang kanilang mga trabaho (In the very beginning, President Bongbong Marcos promised to ease the burden of teachers by giving them manpower support),' Pangandaman said. 'Gusto niya na makapag-focus sila sa pagbibigay ng dekalidad na pagtuturo. Kaya nga po dinadagdagan natin 'yung mga non-teaching personnel para bawasan 'yung load ng trabaho sa kanila — na malaking tulong para sa kanilang mental health at overall well-being,' she added. (He wants them to focus on providing quality teaching. That is why we augmented the non-teaching personnel to reduce the workload of teachers and help improve their mental health and overall well-being.) "Noong nilabas din po natin itong mga positions na ito, nakausap natin ang ating Secretary ng Department of Education, si Secretary Sonny Angara. Ang pakiusap po natin, sana mapunan na 'yung mga binuksan nating teaching and non-teaching positions lalo na't malapit na magsimula ang klase. Madami po ito, kaya naiintindihan nating medyo hindi po madali 'yan,' the Budget chief said. (When we opened these positions, we had a dialogue with the Secretary of the Department of Education, Secretary Sonny Angara. Our request was to fill the recently opened teaching and non-teaching positions, especially as the start of the school year approaches. There are too many; we understand that it will not be an easy task.) The DBM had earlier given the thumbs up for the creation of 16,000 new teaching positions in public schools for School Year 2025–2026 in line with Marcos' directive to strengthen the education sector and ensure sufficient manpower in public schools. — VBL, GMA Integrated News
