IT's 2024. The education sector continues to evolve in the last decade. In 2013, Republic Act (RA) 10533, or the 'K to 12 Law,' was passed. One of the major changes in the education system under the law is the additional two years in high school known as the Senior High School program. Students staying for a total of 13 years in the formal basic education schools, including kindergarten, means that they are attaining or will have reached the legal age by the time they graduate from basic education. This also means that the age gap between teacher and student becomes closer.

This generation of education stakeholders composed of students, teachers and parents is also said to be digital, having increased access to information, cyberspace and social media platforms. The teachers' interaction with students has always been personal. But with technology and social media, this intense interaction has gone beyond the four walls of the classroom and past academics. That is why society has a great interest in how teachers behave and what attitudes they display to the public as part of the education system.
