A total of 100 public school teachers in Negros Occidental took their oath on Monday after their positions were reclassified under the Department of Education’s Expanded Career Progression System.
The ceremony was held at the Negros Occidental Schools Division Office, where Schools Division Superintendent Gladys Amylaine Sales administered the oath.
Of the promoted teachers, 65 were reclassified to Teacher VI, 30 to Teacher V and five to Teacher IV.
Sales said the promotions recognized the teachers’ competence, dedication and performance in public service.
She urged them to use their advancement as motivation to further improve their work, noting that challenges in the education sector require stronger effort from teachers.
The Schools Division Office said the oath-taking reflected the educators’ continued commitment to professionalism, integrity and quality service.
It also congratulated the beneficiaries, saying their promotions marked their professional growth and years of work in the public school system.
The Expanded Career Progression System, established under Executive Order No. 174 in 2022, provides teachers and school heads with clearer promotion pathways based on qualifications and professional standards.
