The Department of Education should immediately probe incidents of teachers allegedly buying ready-made action research papers for promotion or funding, according to Senator Win Gatchalian.
“These unethical practices show lack of integrity and should not be tolerated. I am also urging the department to institute mechanisms that would thoroughly vet research output submitted by teachers,” the chair of the Senate basic education committee said.
“In the medium and long term, however, we should be decongesting the workload of our teachers to afford them time to engage in research,” Gatchalian said.
“Prior to the pandemic, they are already burdened with non-teaching tasks and the shift to distance learning proved overwhelming,” he added.
Gatchalian said another priority was to improve the quality of teacher education and training in the country, which is the objective of his Senate Bill 1887 or the Teacher Education Council Act.
“In reforming teacher education and training, we should foster coherence in the entire continuum of teacher education and training—from pre-service to in-service—and ensure that our aspiring teachers are equipped with the skills that DepEd require, including the capacity to produce quality research,” he said.
