PROMISE STATUS - DATE: In progress as of 07/17/2023
- The Teachers Dignity Coalition — an advocacy group for educators — reported in September 2022 that public school teachers received outdated and poorly-performing laptops from the DepEd.
- In November 2022, the agency created a team to review its evaluation and procurement processes for textbooks, teaching manuals and other learning resources used in public schools. VERA Files reached out to DepEd’s Bureau of Learning Resources to comment when it plans to conclude its review. It has yet to respond to our questions.
