ACT to PRC: Extend renewal of teachers' license
The Philippine Star|January 22, 2024
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) is seeking a dialogue with the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to extend the deadline for accepting Continuing Professional Development (CPD), as many teachers would be unable to renew their professional IDs within the current timeframe.

Stressing that teachers are facing difficulties due to the Department of Education (DepEd)’s supposed failure to implement an automated system that encodes credit units for teachers who already participated in seminars and training, ACT said the PRC should extend the suspension and adjustment period for teachers.

ACT chairman Vladimer Quetua and ACT National Capital Region union president Ruby Bernardo filed a letter before the PRC for the dialogue, seeking discussions on deadline extensions, DepEd’s need to create an automated system for teachers’ CPD, free CPD for teachers and the abolition of the CPD Act of 2016.
