House panel approves P3,000 Teachers’ Day incentive

The House committee on basic education and culture has greenlit a plan to offer P3,000 as an incentive for teachers on World Teachers’ Day, a move seen as a nod to the often-underappreciated profession. This approval, confirmed by Eastern Samar Rep. Christopher Sheen Gonzales, underscores the government's recognition of the vital role educators play in society. Such financial incentives could boost teacher morale and attract more individuals to the profession, highlighting a potential shift towards better valuing and supporting the educational sector.
