This World Teacher’s Day, let us give our beloved educators the pay that they deserve—Angara
Senator Sonny Angara reiterated his call to hike the salaries of public school teachers in recognition of the critical role they play in the lives of our children and in nation building.
Senate Bill 131 filed by Angara calls for an increase in the starting pay of public school teachers, from the present Salary Grade 11 (P20,754) to Salary Grade 19 (P45,269) based on the fourth tranche of the Salary Standardization Law.
A corresponding upgrade in the salaries of the rest of the teachers above the entry level would also be implemented.
