Deped restricts the Teacher-Student Interaction beyond School (DepEd Order #49)

(CHOSEN TOPIC TITLE)

Topic Sentence:

Teacher-Student Interaction beyond School

REASON 1

First, According to Department of Education (DepEd) Order 49, which amends a previous
directive that
"professionalizes the delivery of basic education programs and services," teachers, non-
teaching
personnel, and employees should "avoid relationships, interactions, and communication,
including
following social media, with learners outside of the school setting except if they are relatives."

(Evidence:Real-life happenings in the society)

REASON 2

Next The Department of Education (DepEd) on Monday denied claims that the order
mandating its personnel to avoid relationships and communication with learners outside of the
school setting violates the right to free speech. In a press conference, DepEd spokesperson
Atty. Michael Poa said Department Order (DO) 49, a set of policies recently released to
promote professionalism in the delivery of basic education programs, is only a reiteration of
the Code to Conduct for civil servants, which includes public school teachers.

(Evidence:Real-life happenings in the society)

I’ve observed some of my teachers, some are sad because of the new law, some were disappointed,
and the students are not happy with the new law.

1
 REASON 3

Finally, “DO 49 seeks to, number one, depoliticize ‘yung DepEd, number two…seeks to promote

professionalism within our ranks. So hindi lang teachers ‘yan, pati rin po DepEd personnel,” he said.
“Sa aming pananaw (in our view), there is no infringement of any basic rights such as freedom of

expression, freedom of speech, specifically with telling them not to go to politicians para po

maiparating ‘yung kanilang concerns (to express their concerns),” he added.

(Evidence:Real-life happenings in the society)

Teachers are not allowed to speak about the new law, As if they’re making the teachers have no
freedom of speech.

Concluding Sentence:

I think you should have an opinion about a problem we are facing today, Such as this new law that
DepEd made (DepEd Order #49), This made the teachers, and students distant to each other.
