    This is my situation, I have approved ERF SPET 1. But sad to say wala ibaba item kasi wala daw budget. Pero nabakante ang SPET 1 item sa school namin. My question is need ko pa ba sumama sa open ranking and ibalewala ang approved ERF ko. Ako lang ang may ganong sitwasyon sa aming mga naghahandle na ng SNED Students… nakahang ang aking ERF pero may available naman na item na sa school…

    Good Day sir!
    May we know if there is new guidelines on the QS for Teachers applying for the reclassification of regular teacher item to Special Education Teacher item. I am asking this because the salary garde now of SPET 1 is SG 14. In the CSC website, SPET 1 is still SG 13.
    This will be our basis for Updating the DepEd Order Issued in 1998
    Thank you for a reply

    Good day Sir thank you for this information because i am so much qualified if our division followed this guidelines of qualification standards from Teacher 1 to SpEd Teacher 1 but sad to say our Division HR informed us that there is a new CSC Office memorandum No. 65 s. 2018 which contain a new QS to be followed the ” 1995 Department of Education Qualification Standards Manual for Unique Positions Approved on June 28, 1995 by the CSC-NCR.” SpEd Teacher should be a baccalaureate in SPED kahit10 years na akong nagtuturo sa special children at kahit meron akong 18 units sa MEDSpEd at SpEd training for 2 months.
