Defining the News
Incoming Education Secretary Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara appears poised to hit the ground running when he takes over the Department of Education on July 19.
Recent news reports indicate once he assumes office, Angara will immediately address two key concerns: one, increase the salaries and benefits of teachers and improve their working conditions; and two, simplify the basic curriculum and upgrade the quality of teaching. The bill seeks to close the gap between teachers’ salaries and the cost of living, as well as address the distortion caused by the doubling of the entry-level pay of military and uniformed personnel.
Teachers can look forward to better pay and working conditions ahead as Angara has said he is “100 percent” in support of pay increases for teachers because “we know that the quality of education is affected when the teachers are really inspired…and we also get to attract the best and the brightest.”
