The
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) released P6 million for the salaries
and other compensation of recently hired personnel of the Philippine Science
High School (PSHS) regional campuses in CARAGA (Region 13) and SOCCSKSARGEN
(Region 12), as part of the Aquino administration’s continued drive to further
improve access to quality education in the country.
The release will cover the Personnel Services (PS) requirements of a combined twenty-seven newly filled teaching and non-teaching positions. The staff for these positions were only hired last June and September at the two recently-established science-based campuses.
Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad said: “In our bid to enhance the public school system, we’re not just putting up more schools and classrooms. We’re also making large investments in our teachers and school personnel. By giving enough budgetary support for their salaries, we’re able to look out for the welfare of our teaching and non-teaching staff in public schools, particularly in these two new PSHS campuses,” Abad said.
Of the P6-million release, P4 million was allocated for the PSHS-CARAGA while almost P2 million was allotted for PSHS-SOCCSKSARGEN. Since the positions were not yet filled while the 2014 Budget was being prepared, majority of the release was charged against the Miscellaneous Personnel Benefits Fund (MPBF) under the 2014 Budget.
The PSHS, an attached agency of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), operates as a government high school whose mandate is to offer free scholarships to qualified students with special emphasis on science-based subjects. The goal is to prepare students for future careers in science and technology, engineering and mathematics. (DBM/DOST)
