Makabuluhang araw ng mga ina! 💖

Tuloy ang laban para sa sweldo, benepisyo, edukasyon, karapatan, tunay na kalayaan! ✊

[ACT Philippines @actph1982]

Pambihirang tatag ng katawan, isip at damdamin ang kailangan para gumampan bilang ina ng tahanan at guro ng mga estudyanteng itinuturing nating mga anak.

[ACT Philippines @actph1982]

Kahanga-hanga talaga ang mga guro ng bayan! Ngunit higit sa mga papuri, ang kailangan ng mga gurong ina at lahat ng guro mula sa pamahalaan ay suporta, kalinga at karampatang sweldo at benepisyo.

ACT highlighted that there is a deeper problem in the department’s policy-making process, where directives are imposed from the top down with little to no democratic consultation with teachers who will ultimately implement and bear the burden of sudden reforms.

ACT hit DepEd officials who reportedly urged teachers to “focus and listen carefully” to avoid criticizing the agency’s system reforms, describing the statement as both ironic and revealing.

[ACT Philippines @actph1982]

ACT criticized the conduct of in-person “watch party” orientations for an activity that could have easily been attended online from home, sparing teachers from additional expenses and inconvenience during what is supposed to be their vacation period.

[ACT Philippines @actph1982]

ACT slammed the DepEd for requiring teachers to physically report to schools for the “Learning Systems Reform Policies Orientation” during their Proportional Vacation Pay days, calling the set-up unnecessary, impractical, and another glaring example of ill-conceived directives.
