• refers to organizations, other than schools or Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), contracted out by the DepEd for a fixed period, to provide teacher education and training for purposes of retooling the graduates of the teacher education curriculum, and only in such areas where there is a shortage of trained teachers.

Temporary Nature

It is apparent that these organizations’ role in training new teachers might diminish or rendered unnecessary,

once existing TEIs or HEIs have aligned their Teacher Education curriculum with the enhanced basic education

curriculum under the K-12 Law.

“Qualified LET applicants shall also include graduates admitted by foundations duly recognized for their expertise in the education sector and who satisfactorily complete the requirements set by these organizations”

• Not in SBN 6643

• Not in HB 3286

“In case of a conflict between the statement/amendments stated in this Joint Explanation and that of the provisions of the consolidated bill in the accompanying Conference Committee Report, the provisions of the latter shall prevail”

• LET Condition does not apply

• Volunteers admitted/trained by Foundations

–Written LET is Waived, NOT Academic Qualification

• “Foundations, as used in this section, refer to non-profit organizations, which are not operating as educational institutions, contracted out by DepEd for a fixed period, to provide volunteers to teach in basic education in areas where there is a shortage of qualified teachers. The DepEd shall issue the guidelines and procedures for selection and eligibility of these organizations to qualify.”

• Alternative Source of Teachers

• MORPHEI- Master’s; except PE and Music; or professional license for a bachelor’s degree in cases of dearth of Master’s Degree Holders

• Minimum Academic Qualification of Faculty CANNOT be separated from Requirement of Full-Time Status;

• Joint Order Requires compliance with MORPHEI Qualification to be a full-time faculty.

E-GASTPE

• Increasing the amount of assistance may be done through the implementing guidelines of DepEd

Repealing Clause

Laws, decrees, executive orders and rules and regulations, are repealed or

modified only insofar as their provisions are inconsistent with the

provisions of the K-12 Law.

• Succinctly put, those prior laws are still good laws as long as these are

not in conflict or do not run counter to the K-12 Law.
