Teachers get 2-day wellness break
MANILA, Philippines — A wellness break for public school teachers from Sept. 14 to 15 has been set by the Department of Education.
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara said teachers are entitled to rest before the start of the second school term.
Regional offices, school division offices and schools should uphold these two days “as a genuine break for teachers,” the DepEd said.
Teachers will not be called to attend meetings, trainings, school activities or other official work during their break.
Under the three-term school calendar, the first term will run from June to September, followed by September to December and January to March.
The DepEd shifted to a three-term school year as part of its broader effort to improve the quality of basic education, strengthen instructional planning and ensure that schools are better supported in delivering the K-12 curriculum.
