Teachers’ unions across the country are renewing their push for a significant salary increase, calling for a base pay raise to 50,000 pesos alongside additional funding for classrooms and learning resources. The renewed demands come amid ongoing discussions over education sector reforms, with advocates emphasizing the need for better compensation to retain qualified educators. Critics argue that current wages fail to reflect the demands of the profession, particularly in light of rising costs and limited support for teachers. The call highlights broader tensions between government funding priorities and the urgent need for improved conditions in public schools.
