Executive Order No. 174, S. 2022 aims to enhance the career growth and development of public school teachers by establishing an expanded career progression system. A crucial component of this system is the clear delineation of positions and their corresponding salary grades.
Understanding the Career Lines
The EO provides two primary career paths for teachers:
- Classroom Teaching (CT) Career Line: This path is for teachers who prefer to focus on teaching and learning.
- School Administration (SA) Career Line: This path is for teachers who aspire to leadership roles within the school system.
