COTABATO CITY –
About 6,000 public school teachers have been hired since Governor Mujiv Hataman
of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) took his seat in the
regional government in December 2011.
The ARMM
regional government invested heavily in providing quality education to
Bangsamoro children. In recent years, the ARMM’s Education department
(DepEd-ARMM) has made major improvements in the region’s educational system.
About 1,000
newly hired teachers in Maguindanao signed their appointment and deployment
orders during an acceptance and mass oath-taking ceremony held here in the
first week of July. New teachers in other provinces will sign the same orders
in the coming months.
Gov. Hataman
said the regional government will support the teachers in delivering
high-quality education. A newly hired teaching personnel holding Salary Grade
11 without dependents will receive a gross basic salary of P20,179 and will
have a net take-home pay of P20,012. In addition, the annual allowance intended
for the purchase of classroom supplies was raised to P3,500 from P2,500 while
the clothing allowance also increased to P6,000 from P5,000.
To finally
solve the shortage of teachers in public schools, the DepEd-ARMM will be hiring
an additional 3,000 new teachers and will finish constructing 921 classrooms in
the region.
May mga
kwentong nagsasabi na ang pag-apply daw sa ARMM ay medyo mahirap, said
Norolhaq H. Usop, one of the newly hired teachers. He was among the walk-in
applicants during the screening process conducted in May. I feel so blessed
kasi hindi na umabot ng ilang years ang application namin, he said.
Now that he is
officially a teacher in the region, Usop said he is ready for whatever duties
his work will require. I will really give my best para maibigay kung ano man
ang kailangan ng ating mga kabataan, Usop said. (Bureau of Public Information)
