Activity #1: List the rights and privileges of Magna Carta for Public School Teachers.
It is hereby declared that the purpose of this Act is to advance and improve
public school teachers' socioeconomic standing, living and working conditions,
employment terms, and career prospects for them to compare favorably with
opportunities in other spheres of life, draw more qualified individuals into the
teaching profession, and keep them there given that advancement in education is
dependent on qualifications.
The "Magna Carta for Public School Teachers" Act will be known as such and
will apply to all public school teachers, with the exception of those who are on the
faculty of state colleges and universities. The term "teacher" as used in this Act
shall refer to all full-time classroom instructors at any level of education, including
guidance counsellors, school librarians, industrial arts or vocational instructors,
and all other individuals performing supervisory and/or administrative functions in
all colleges and universities run by the government or its political subdivisions;
however, school nurses, school doctors, and school psychologists shall not be
considered teachers.
If the instructor meets the necessary requirements for civil service eligibility, no
probationary period prior to a regular appointment shall be imposed when
recruitment occurs after suitable training and professional preparation in any
school recognized by the Government. However, in cases where it is necessary
to hire a teacher who meets the minimum educational requirements outlined
above but does not meet the requirements for civil service eligibility, they must be
appointed on a provisional basis and must undergo a probationary period lasting
at least one year from the date of their provisional appointment aminations, the
results of which will be made public, and candidates will be given their scores
and rankings.
Every effort should be made by the appropriate authorities to allow married pairs
of public school teachers to work together in the same community.
Except for the preparation and correction of exercises, teachers are not expected
to work longer than six hours a day in the classroom. They might, however, be
obliged to work longer than eight hours a day if necessary, with extra pay equal
to regular pay plus 25% of the basic salary.
Section 14. Additional Compensation.
After six hours of classroom instruction, teachers must get an additional 25% of
their regular salary for co-curricular and out-of-school activities. For labor beyond
eight hours, other teachers or school administrators must be paid an additional
25%. The additional compensation must be paid by agencies that use instructors'
services. Education authorities must ensure that teachers receive the salary
specified in this provision.
