Teachers welcome suspension of gov't incentive system

Public school teachers welcomed the suspension of the government’s Results-Based Performance Management System (RBPMS) and Performance-Based Incentive (PBI) System, noting how they have long been decrying the performance system as an additional burden that “does little to improve education quality.”

While the Alliance of Concerned TeachersNational Capital Region (ACT-NCR) Union welcomed President Marcos’ decision to suspend the performance system, the group reiterated its call to scrap the “burdensome” evaluation altogether.

“We laud President Marcos’ move to review the RBPMS as this has been a major source of stress and unnecessary workload for teachers after a school year,” ACT-NCR Union president Ruby Bernardo said.
