INAPRUBAHAN ng Kamara de Representantes sa ikatlo at huling pagbasa ang Teacher Protection bill.
Sa botong 183-0 at walang abstention, inaprubahan ang House bill 9065.
“The passage of this bill into law would aid teachers in disciplining their students and properly managing their classrooms without violating child protection laws,” ani ACT Rep. Antonio Tinio. “Instilling discipline to some 60 to 70 pupils in a class without guidelines for student discipline and mechanisms for classroom management would sometimes lead to teachers being accused of violating RA 7610 or the Child Protection Act.”
Sa ilalim ng panukala magkakaroon ng polisiya para sa student discipline at mekanismo para sa classroom management.
“The passage of this bill is a huge win for teachers especially as we start another school year,” saad naman ni ACT Rep. France Castro. “We urge the Senate to also pass a counterpart Senate version of the bill so that it could swiftly be enacted into law. Teachers have long been clamoring for a bill that would guide them in classroom management and protect them from being accused of child abuse.”
Magkakaroon ng polisiya para sa epektibong pagdidisiplina sa mga bata ng mga guro nang hindi nila nalalabag ang Anti-Child Abuse law.
“The passage of this bill into law, along with increasing salaries of teachers and decreasing their additional non-teaching workload and providing schools with adequate facilities for a conducive learning environment would provide students with better quality education,” ani Castro. “It is high time that the state listen to the clamor of teachers and compensate their dedication to teach the youth and serve the Filipino people.”
