a.   Effective immediately, each school, district and division shall formulate a teacher deployment schedule which identifies priority allocation requirements based on enrolment and the standard class sizes and subject area requirements (for high school). This schedule shall be the primary basis for deployment of teaching items, both new and those vacated by retirement, resignation, etc. The schedule adopted by each division should be submitted to the Office of the Under Secretary Erlinda C. Pefianco through the regional office.

b.   The practice of over-reporting of enrolment (giving way to the emergence of “ghost” pupils) is strictly prohibited and shall be a cause for severe disciplinary action against teachers and their superiors who tolerate such practice. All enrolment reports shall be duly certified under oath by teachers and their superiors.

c.   Hiring of new teachers shall strictly conform with prescribed qualification standards. In addition, all divisions shall maintain a rank list of qualified teachers which shall be the basis for hiring and assignment. All concerned shall also strictly monitor the six-month probationary status of all appointments of teachers recommended for permanency within which period the performance, credentials, and other qualifications of those hired shall be monitored and verified.
