2025 national budget 'unlawful' - Teachers' Dignity Coalition
- The 2025 national budget did not meet its constitutional mandate by "unlawfully" including police, military, and local government academies in funding for the education sector, the Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) said in a statement on Thursday.
The article from MSN discusses the concerns raised by the Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) regarding the proposed 2025 national budget of the Philippines. The TDC has labeled the budget as "unlawful" due to its failure to adhere to the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers, which mandates a salary increase for teachers every three years. According to the TDC, the budget does not provide for the necessary salary adjustments, which should have been implemented in 2023. The coalition argues that this oversight not only violates the law but also undermines the welfare of teachers, who are crucial to the education system. The TDC is calling for the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to rectify this issue in the upcoming budget deliberations to ensure teachers receive their due salary increases.
