Not only parents are anxious about the K-12 program also the teachers especially the professors. How about them?
 

The professors will be displaced and will be put in Senior High Schools and can be a whole time or part time teacher. But CHED (Commission on Higher Education) has saved a budget for professors, teachers that will be displace called the Teacher Education Augmentation Fund.

​

The number of teachers, instructors and professors is not a small number by the way, its' about 39,000 possible displaced professors.

​

The salary is also going to be increased for teachers who will be willing to teach for Senior High School. Instead of a teacher 1 salary 13-17,000, it will increase to like of teacher two which is more or less below the 20,000 range which is about 19,000 of a salary.

​

If the colleges does not want to lose their teachers, Asec. Mateo offers a solution.

They can also have Senior High School in their institution and ask for a permit from Deped and about 274 privates schools has been permitted to have a SHS in their school. The only thing for them to do is to "comply sila sa standard natin" Asec. Mateo said.

​

With this, teachers are hopefully going to be okay with what Deped plans to do with the matter.
