Salary Increase for DepEd Personnel under Executive Order no. 64 effective January 2024

Under Executive Order No. 64, "Updating the Salary Schedule for Civilian Government Personnel and Authorizing the Grant of an Additional Allowance, and for Other Purposes," teachers holding teaching and non-teaching positions will see a gradual increase in their salaries over the next four years. This order aims to address the economic challenges faced by government employees, including inflation and the erosion of purchasing power.

IMPORTANT: The first tranche of the salary increase will be retroactive, covering the period from January to December 2024. This means that government workers will receive back pay for 2024, along with their regular pay starting in January 2025. The second tranche for 2025 will coincide with this retroactive adjustment.

When asked if government workers will see both the 2024 and 2025 adjusted rates in their paychecks starting January 2025, Secretary Pangandaman confirmed this, stating that the second tranche is included. READ MORE

The salary adjustment under EO No. 64 is driven by the need to ensure that government employees, including teachers, are adequately compensated in light of the prevailing economic conditions. Key reasons for this update include:

Economic Circumstances

The salary increase aims to counter the effects of inflation and the decrease in purchasing power, ensuring that government employees can maintain a reasonable standard of living.

Competent Workforce

By updating the salaries and benefits, the government seeks to retain a competent, committed, agile, and healthy workforce.

Social Justice and Excellence

The increase promotes social justice, integrity, efficiency, accountability, and excellence in public service, which in turn is expected to lead to increased productivity and higher-quality services for the public.

This step-by-step increase in salaries is a significant move towards ensuring that teachers and other government personnel are fairly compensated and motivated to deliver excellent public services.
