Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 28) – The Department of Education (DepEd) on Monday said a call to hire 30,000 public school teachers and increase classroom budget to ₱100 billion annually is “unrealistic and impossible.”
“It is a call motivated by the group’s fascination for demands and goals that are unrealistic and impossible — placing the government in a precarious situation that will ultimately end in failure,” Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte said.

But for Duterte, ACT’s suggestion is a “deceptive maneuver deliberately designed to counter the Marcos administration’s solution to the problems hounding the education sector.”
\”Instead of solely focusing on archaic and ineffective solutions, we will also tap into available technology to address current challenges,\” she added. \”The Department intends to continue hiring additional teaching and non-teaching personnel this year. It is also set to deploy more administrative officers in schools to complement its workforce and ultimately reduce the administrative tasks of teachers.\”
Relating it anew to communist rebels, the education chief said ACT is just trying to divert public’s attention away from armed conflicts in Masbate province.
Duterte previously tagged ACT as having a communist ideology after the group expressed support to what the education chief described as a “ communist-inspired” transport strike that occurred on March 6 to 12.
