Teachers hold a unique and significant position. It is their responsibility to mold young brains and provide a strong basis for their professional and academic futures. Public school teachers in the Philippines bear the huge responsibility of molding these children into contributing members of society, given the high number of pupils that attend public schools.

It is only right that teachers receive compensation for all of the efforts that they put in. Excellent benefits, perks, and allowances are a few ways to achieve this. These make their work easier for them, which enables our kids to have excellent educations as well.
Salary Grade of DepEd Teachers
The pay grade table for public school teachers in the Philippines determines their pay, just like it does for other government workers. Checking your income before applying to the Department of Education for a teaching position might be a good idea. A teaching post that pays less than your existing work is ideally something you should not accept.
Salary Grade Table and Job Positions in Public Schools
DepEd Order No. 005, series of 2024, which was released on April 29, states that all full-time DepEd-employed teachers working in public elementary and high schools under permanent, provisional, or substitute rank are eligible to receive “overload pay,” which is equal to 25% of their salary.
Typically, recent graduates begin as Teacher 1. All around the country, this position receives a wage grade of 11. The pay grade of a teacher increases along with their rank.

Positions At State Colleges And Universities
Teachers at state universities and colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines are subject to supervision by either the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) or, in the case of autonomous universities, the universities themselves. This is in contrast to teachers at public schools.
Professors typically earn more than teachers do since they work in higher education and begin at a higher pay grade. In addition, they get research funding and allowances. A professor must either wait for a post to open up or publish research findings in order to be considered for tenure or promotion.
Teachers at SUCs are paid at standard grade levels and have a standardized rank, although some SUCs have their own hiring practices. The rankings and pay grades of professors and teachers at colleges are displayed in the tables below.
