DepEd proposes "teaching overload" allowances for teachers

DepEd had earlier proposed adding so-called “teaching overload” allowances and “special hardship” as forms of honoraria for teachers, Sevilla said at a press briefing.

In a statement in October last year, the DepEd defined overload allowance as remuneration for teachers who put in more than six hours of classroom teaching.
