Amidst the issue of DepEd on the unexplained expenditures found by Commission on Audit (COA) which amounted to billions of pesos, the Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) led by their Chairperson Benjo Basas has once again insisted the salary increase for all public school teachers.
“Mahirap yatang maunawaan na nasasayang ang pondo ng DepEd sa mga error-filled books at iba pang gastusin pero hindi mabigyan ng nararapat na sahod ang mga guro,” TDC Chaiperson Benjo Basas stated.
“If we give the money for the welfare of our teachers, surely it will go to its intended use with a ‘return of investment’ in several folds,” Basas added.
Basas also stressed that most of the public teachers are spending their own hard-earned salary just to provide the necessary instructional materials for their classes. Many of them even bought extra devices like TVs, laptops, printers, speakers, lapels, and so on just to give the students the quality of instruction.
“Teachers have to bear the expenses for these necessities,” he added.
“Sa lahat ng gastusin sa edukasyon, teacher ang hindi dapat tinitipid dahil bawat pisong ibinibigay sa guro ay sulit na sulit,” he emphasized.
