Week 9 DLL July 29 – August 2, 2019 | 1st Quarter Daily Lesson Log

Good day fellow Teachers. We’ve been together for three years now. We had a lot of struggles in our beloved profession but we made it to this new school year together – supporting and sharing our knowledge for the welfare of each other. We were always there for each other as we dreamed of a smooth and productive school year. Together we withstood the challenges. And now, we have uploaded our Week 9 DLL July 29 – August 2, 2019 | 1st Quarter Daily Lesson Log

Thanks to all our Contributors, File Editors and Tech Volunteers who managed our website contents as well as our social media accounts selflessly without reservations. Thanks to all of you for your continued support and your collective notions.

And now as we start on another journey with new students and new challenges that are yet to come, we shall stick together as one – a solid DepEd Teachers Club.

No Teacher is left behind.

This week’s News that matter:

EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES
First Regular Session

S.B. NO. 118
Introduced by Senator Maria Lourdes Nancy S. Binay

AN ACT
PROVIDING FOR EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE TO PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREOF

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Shortage of trained and qualified teachers is a major concern in our public educational system. One major reason for such is the lack of funds and absence of opportunities for further studies that public teachers may avail.

Undeniably, public teachers play a significant role in educating the Filipino youth who in turn become the future leaders of this country. They play an extraordinary part in the lives of Filipino children, molding them to become responsible citizens in the future. Thus, major efforts should be undertaken to give our teachers adequate training in order to ensure quality education.

In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

MARIA LOURDES NANCY S.BINAY

Senator
