Teachers' Clothing Stipend Hiked
Public school teachers nationwide commended Saturday the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) after the two agencies announced that their clothing allowance will be increased beginning this year.
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) considered the increase in clothing allowance, as “another victory for teachers nationwide” while the Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC) said that although it is a small amount—an additional P1,000—“it is a great help as well to their teachers.”
