An Act Creating Higher Level Teaching Positions Of Public School Teachers And Providing Funds Therefor

• To break the glass ceiling which prevents the career progression of the truly deserving, this bill proposes to create four new teaching position levels namely, Teacher IV, V, VI, VII with respective salary grades 14, 15, 16, and 17. These are the bridge items to Master Teacher I. 
• Existing teaching positions may be reclassified to the higher teaching position proposed under this bill.
• One of the pillars of civil service is the predictability of meritorious promotion. This proposal is aligned with the DepEd’s commitment to expand the welfare and professional growth of its teaching personnel by ensuring that teachers’ promotion and salary increase will be based on competency and not just on the availability of vacancy in higher positions.
