Teachers in public schools can now look forward to faster and fairer promotions as the Department of Education (DepEd) officially operation-alizes the Expanded Career Progression (ECP) system—a reform designed to recognize merit, reduce dependence on vacancies, and provide clearer pathways for professional growth.

- BY MERLINA HERNANDO-MALIPOT

In celebration of National Teachers' Month (NTM) and in line with President Marcos' call to strengthen the teaching profession, DepEd, in a statement issued on September 11, announced that it has rolled out the ECP.

“Ang Expanded Career Progression System ay handog ng pamahalaan upang suklian ang kanilang sipag at sakripisyo sa pamamagitan ng mas mali-naw na landas para sa kanilang career sa pagtuturo (The Expanded Career Progression System is the government’s offering to reward their hard work and sacrifices by providing a clearer path for their teaching careers),” said DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara.
