Duterte noted that after holding several consultations with the field personnel, the Department Order on the Removal of Administrative Tasks for Teachers will be “released tomorrow [Jan. 26].”
Meanwhile, she added that the corresponding strand memorandum will be “released next week.”
Duterte noted that to ensure its effective implementation, along with the filling up of 5,000 administrative personnel for 2023 and another 5,000 administrative personnel for 2024, DepEd will also be providing additional Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) to enable “our schools to hire the necessary administrative support staff.”
