The Department of Education (DepEd) on Sunday said that there were a total of 11,580 teachers hired and a total of 5,000 administrative officer items were created to lessen the burden of teachers with administrative loads this year.&nbsp;
DepEd's year-end report which was submitted to Malaca&ntilde;ang said that 15,332 teachers and school leaders received graduate scholarships while 17,636 were trained in early-grade language literacy.&nbsp;
Moreover, 161,700 teachers completed the National Educators' Academy of the Philippines (NEAP) subsidized teaching courses and 31,700 teachers underwent Teacher Induction Program.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the DepEd also prepared the National Learning Recovery Plan to assist regions, divisions, and schools to address learning deficiencies caused by the pandemic-related disruptions.&nbsp;
According to DepEd Assistant Secretary Ruby Torio, the plan includes extending the school calendar to establish learning support centers in schools and community-based learning areas, conducting summer learning remediation and intervention programs, and hiring additional learning support aides.&nbsp;
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. cited the significance of supporting teachers and not "scrimping on the amount" for the education of children since the country's future relies on them.&nbsp;
