DepEd Reconstitutes Teachers' Uniform Committee
The Philippine Star|January 10, 2025
The Department of Education has ordered the revival of a committee that would select the appropriate dress code for teachers and non-teaching personnel amid opposition to the impending implementation of a Civil Service Commission (CSC) memo mandating the wearing of Filipiniana-inspired uniforms by government workers, including public school teachers.
By ELIZABETH MARCELO

In his DepEd Memorandum No. 004, s. 2025, dated Jan. 8, Education Secretary Sonny Angara ordered the reconstitution of the DepEd Uniform Committee (DUC), which used to operate during school years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022.

"With arising concerns relative to the DepEd uniform at the field offices and schools, changes in the DepEd administration and directives, and to comply with the newly released Civil Service Commission MC (Memorandum Circular) No. 16, s. 2024, there is a need to reconstitute the DUC," the memorandum read.

The reconstituted DUC, which shall include representatives from nine national organizations and associations of teachers and non-teaching employees, shall be responsible for the selection, implementation and monitoring of DepEd uniforms for SYs 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.
