A teachers! ssalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

We have great news for our beloved public school True to his 2024 State of the Nation Address (SONA) promise of supporting and uplifting the lives of our country's public school teachers, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. (PBBM), through the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), has approved several initiatives.

The first is the creation of 16,000 new teaching positions for School Year (SY) 2025-2026, in line with PBBM's directive to strengthen the education sector and ensure sufficient manpower in public schools.

This forms part of the 20,000 new teaching positions approved by the DBM for creation this Fiscal Year (FY) 2025.

As PBBM emphasized in his SONA, "The quality of our education rests on the quality of our teachers. Every classroom that we build will be but an empty and lifeless structure without its moving force the teacher... they are the very foundation of our educational system." Thus, the PBBM administration is committed to ensuring that our children have teachers who will focus, guide, and assist in their learning journey. With this, our government is serious about uplifting the quality of our educational system and providing better quality of life for our teachers.
