ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro urged the Department of Education (DepEd) to make public the number of public school teachers and non-teaching personnel who were infected of COVID-19.
Castro said that in Quezon City, six teachers have succumbed to the COVID-19 this month alone.
“Makalipas ang mahigit isang taong naka-lockdown ang mga paaralan, hanggang ngayon wala paring malinaw na report ang DepEd sa bilang ng mga nagkasakit na guro at education support personnel, walang sapat na serbisyong medikal at sapat na proteksyon ang mga guro mula sa sakit na COVID,” said Castro.
Castro said that a number of teachers and non-teaching personnel were required to go to school outside of module distribution days.
She said DepEd should take responsibility especially for its workers who have been exposed in performance of their duties “as this is due to the department’s rashness and negligence.”
“Sa kasalukuyan, walang sick leave ang mga guro, walang pondo ang Magna Carta provision para sa treatment ng mga sakit ng mga guro. Mababa rin sa listahan ng prioritization ng mga guro sa bakuna para sa COVID. Ang lumalalang kalagayan ng pampublikong edukasyon at ang pagpapahalaga sa kalusugan ng mga guro at kawani nito ay nagpapakita lamang ng napakababang pagtingin ng administrasyong Duterte sa edukasyon,” the lady solon added.
