1. For the information and guidance of all concerned, all DECS regulations regarding the granting of service credits to teachers attending seminars/workshops/SEDP trainings conducted during the two weeks Christmas vacation, and the two months summer vacation including those conducted during school days, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are hereby rescinded.
2. Inasmuch as expenses incurred by the participants in these trainings/seminars/workshops are charged to this Office, attendance is in itself a privilege and serves as a venue for personal and professional growth of the teachers, hence, the granting of service credits is no longer necessary.
3. This Order takes effect immediately.
