The Department of Education is finding ways to include private school teachers in the government’s financial assistance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking after private school teachers<\/h2>\n

The Department of Education (DepEd) is seeking help from its co-government agency the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) in handing out a cash assistance program for private school teachers<\/a> included in the “no work no pay”<\/em> policy from their employers.
\nNEDA acting secretary and former Finance Secretary, Karl Kendrick Chua, mentioned about a consultation made by DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones with his office regarding the welfare of the teachers affected by the COVID-19 crisis<\/a>.
\nA huge number of private school teachers, especially those from small schools in remote areas, are under the “no work no pay”<\/em> policy. Small schools are incapable of providing their teaching and non-teaching staff with an ongoing salary during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Cash assistance for small business’ workers<\/h2>\n

Chua suggested that private school teachers seek financial assistance through the government’s financial aid program for small business’ workers.
\nDepEd is calling school administrators to submit to them a list of their teachers being affected with the “no work no pay”<\/em> policy such that necessary assistance will be provided.
\nThe department is expecting around 500,000 employees from various small schools nationwide, both teaching and non-teaching school staff, according to estimates given by private school administrators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
