THE Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has approved a total of 10,000 non-teaching positions to augment the current education workforce nationwide.
According to DBM Secretary Amenah “Mina” F. Pangandaman “I am happy to confirm that we’ve approved a total of 10,000 non-teaching positions to provide our teachers with necessary support. This is on top of the 16,000 newly created teaching positions in public schools that we have recently approved for school year 2025 to 2026,” Sec. Mina said.
The approved positions will occupy Administrative Officer II posts with Salary Grade 11 to be distributed in elementary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools in all regions nationwide.
“Actually, this is a campaign promise fulfilled by our beloved President. Noong una pa lang po, pinangako na ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na bibigyan niya ng kinakailangang suporta ang ating mga guro para padaliin ang kanilang mga trabaho. Gusto n’ya na makapag-focus sila sa pagbibigay ng dekalidad na pagtuturo. Kaya nga po dinadagdagan natin ‘yung mga non-teaching personnel para bawasan ‘yung load ng trabaho sa kanila — na malaking tulong para sa kanilang mental health at overall well being,” Sec. Mina pointed out.
“Noong nilabas din po natin itong mga positions na ito, nakausap natin ang ating Secretary ng Department of Education, si Secretary Sonny Angara. Ang pakiusap po natin, sana mapunan na ‘yung mga binuksan nating teaching and non-teaching positions lalo na’t malapit na magsimula ang klase. Madami po ito, kaya naiintindihan nating medyo hindi po madali ‘yan,” the Budget Secretary added.
The concerned DBM-Regional Offices shall issue the corresponding Notice of Organization, Staffing and Compensation Action (NOSCA) directly to the DepEd – Schools Division Offices based on the deployment report submitted by DepEd.
