Hiring policy for teachers
This is a belated reply to Ms. Ric’s query posted in this website last July 28. I am giving you the unexpurgated reply of the Dagupan City Schools Division for your information and evaluation.
Best regards.
Atty. Gonzalo T. Duque
This has reference to your request re: the procedure in hiring new teachers in the Department of Education. The Division of City Schools in Dagupan has been transparent in its selection of regular permanent Teachers. In fact, vacant items are published in local newspapers and in the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Bulletin. The Division Office, in its desire to get the best teachers in the market strictly adheres to the guidelines, procedure and available legal basis in hiring teachers wit:
1. Qualified applicants must be LET or PBET passers. The license is renewable every three years. Teachers cannot teach without a license.
2. R.A.8190 or “Localization Law” requires that a teacher-applicant must be a bonafide resident of the Barangay, Municipal/City, Province where the school is located and where the vacant item is available.
3. Hiring. Only the school’s Division Superintendent with the recommendation of the School Head/Principal can appoint the regular permanent teacher using the list of qualified applicants.
4. Teacher applicants who have an aggregate score of 50 and above of the basic requirements hereunder listed will be considered for appointment as permanet/substitue teachers.
