DepEd urged to lighten teachers' workload

TWO teacher organizations called on the Department of Education (DepEd) to implement its six-hour workload rule for teachers who they said still have to finish tasks even after classes are over.

Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) National Chairman Benjo Basas said requiring teachers to do extra work violated policies regarding the allowable workload for teachers set forth by the DepEd itself, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) and the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers.
