BANGUED, Abra, – The Department of Education (DepEd) – Division of Abra had issued its official statement clarifying various issues affecting the public school teachers in the province.
Schools Division Assistant Superintendent Francis Cesar Bringas, in a radio interview assured the public schools teachers that their benefits are now ready for release.
The clarification came as a response to text messages received by local radio commentators here regarding the payment of the differentials of teachers on their salary step increments.
Bringas said the payments are now ready for release. However, he explained and appealed for the understanding and patience of the teachers because the payments will not be released to all the districts at the same time because the accounting department of the Division Office cannot do the task for all the districts at one time.
The office has to schedule the releases per district, although Bringas assured the teachers that the papers have all been processed and are now ready for signing by the officials concerned.
The Assistant Superintendent likewise clarified the issue on the release of the uniform allowances of the public school teachers. He said the national uniform is distributed by the DepEd central office because there is only one distributor for the uniform throughout the country. The regional uniform is being handled by the Cordillera Regional Office as agreed upon among all the provinces.
It is only the division uniform that Division Office can dispose according to the agreements among the teachers themselves within the division level.
Aside from the issues affecting the teachers, Bringas also clarified the issues regarding graduation expenses of students and pupils. He reiterated that whatever contributions relative to enrolment and graduation expenses or whatever affairs the public schools have to undertake, must be determined and agreed upon during the meeting of the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) of the schools.
Bringas emphasized that the PTA should observe austerity always taking into consideration the capacity of the families to pay whatever contributions or expenses they have to shoulder. *(PIA CAR/Abra)
