As represented by Undersecretary Mateo, in his letter dated April 21,2017, the

above-cited existing QS particularly the training requirement for the TVL track rendered
appointments to same positions impossible as "some specializations offered by TESDA
are only up to NC ll and/orTMC 1."

Undersecretary Mateo further represented that the NCll and TMC I requirements
were discussed at length with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) National lnstitute for Technical Education and Skills Development and
Qualification and Standards Office. As a result, the training requirements were lowered to
ensure that appointments are possible for all subject positions under the TVL tracks with
corresponding increase in experience requirements for the overall QS of SHS TVL

t They shall be issued provisional appointments which shall be effective not beyond the school year during which the
Anended QS SHS Teaching Positiotu, TW Trach DepEd p.3 ofp. 6
---___t

ln the same letter, Undersecretary Mateo requests that once the proposed
amended QS for SHS TVL teaching positions are approved, they will be applied
retroactively to all pending appointments submitted to the Commission since the previous
school year.

ln an earlier letter dated February 1 ,2A17 addressed to Chairperson Alicia Dela-

Rosa Bala, Undersecretary Mateo sought reconsideration of the invalidated appointments
of teachers from the Schools Division Office (SDO) of Catanduanes and SDO
Meycauayan, to wit:

, "The appointment of 11 teacherc from SDQ of Catanduanes for the position of

Teacher lll were invalidated on the basr's of not meeting the training requirement
which, xxx is af /easf NC lll and TMC I (appropriate to the specialization).
However, upon further review by the Central Office and as raised by various fietd
offices and applicanfs, some specializations offered by TESDA are only up to NC
ll and/or TMC l. Thus. meetino the QS, specificallv the traininq reouirements.
would be impossihle for these specializations." (underscoring supplied for
emphasis)

Undersecretary Mateo further represented that the current number of regular

teaching complement cannot address the demands for teachers particularly for tne k-te
Senior High School Cuniculum. Further, the DepEd is still faced with af least 30,000
vacant teaching positions for filling up.

Relevant to the request of DepEd is the Philippine Qualifications Framework wtrich

provides that the completion of technical-vocational courses shall merit the conferment of
National Certificate ll only. lnasmuch as the completion of technical-vocational course(s)
shall be considered as appropriate education for SHS positions, thus, requiring at least
NC ll as training requirement shall ensure alignment of the QS.

On the Trainer Methodology Certification (TMC) requirement, the Commission

validated Deped's representation through a review of the TESDA's Training Regulations
Manual. The review revealed that Trainers Methodoiogy Certificate Levll f -OUC l)
consists of competencies that a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)
trainer and assessor must achieve. Hence, a holder of TMC I is considered to be a
qualified and competent TVET Trainerffechnical Trainer, Training Facilitator/Coordinator
and Competency Assessor.

On the other hand, Trainers Methodology Certificate Level ll (TMC ll) consists of
competencies a TVET trainer or technical trainer must achieve in performing functions as
training designer/developer. Therefore, a holder of TMC ll is considered to be a qualified
and competent Cuniculum designer, lnstructional designer and
Training
designer/developer.

(1op5n
Annden QS SHS Teaching Positions, TVL Track" DepEd p.4 of p. 6

Considering the nature of the work of SHS teaching positions vis-A-vis the
description of TMC I and TMC ll, it clearly shows that TMC I is the appropriate training
requirement for the SHS teaching positions in the WL track.

With regard to DepEd's request for the retroactive application of the amended QS
once approved, it is emphasized that the present policy of the Commission provides that
the reckoning period in determining the qualifications of an appointee shall be on the date
of the issuance of the appointment. However, the Commission recognizes the fact that
there was inadvertence in the formulation of the QS which the DepEd now seeks to rectify
along with the exigency of recruiting and assessing teachers for the SHS TVL Track.

Based on the foregoing, the Commission finds merit to the DepEd's commitment
and willingness to resolve its oversight in the qualification standards by working closely
with the TESDA to propose the amendment in the qualification standards for the
experience and training requirements. Hence, based on the facts gathered as evidenced
by the disapproved/invalidated appointments, the application of the amended QS to the
issued appointment may be considered and given a curative effect due to the urgency of
the requirement and its impact to appointment to SHS teaching positions in the DepEd.

Section 22, Chapter 5, Title l-A, Book V of Executive Order No. 292 provides
that:
"(2) The establishment. administration and maintenance of oualification
standards shall be the resaonsibilitv of the deoartment or aaencv. with
the aSsistance and approval of the Civil Seruice Commission and in
consultation with the Wage and Position Classification Office."
(U nderscoring supplied)

Paragraph 3, Policy No. 2, Part I (General Policies) of CSC Resolution No.

030962 (Revised Policies on Qualification Standards), dated 12 September 2003
states that:

"Agencies are encouraged to sef spec,fic or higher standards for their

posifibns. Ihese sfandards shall be submitted to the Commission for
appraval, and once approved, they shall be adopted by the Commission as
qualification standards in the attestation of appointmenfs of the agency
concemed."

An evaluation of the proposed amended qualification standards for the experience

and training requirements reveals that the amended experience and training qualification
standards are necessary and appropriate in the performance of the duties and
responsibilities of the subject positions.

SUBfECT: Ameniled Qualification Standards for Seniot High School

Teaching Po sitions in the Technical-Vocational-Lioelihood
Track

DATE: 22 September 2017

In January 2016, the Departnent issued DepEd fuer (DO) No. 3, s. 2016 entitled Hiing Guidelines
far Senior High Schoal (SHS) Teading Positions Effectiae School Year (SY) 2076-2A17 which defines the
application, selectioo and appointnentprocess of SHS teachers as well as establishes professional
standards and evaluation criteria to ensure that highly competent individuals with the appropriate
qualifications and specializations are hired to teach in SlISs.

After ttre first year of implementation of SF:[S, however, several issues concerning the hiring of
SFIS teachers have been raised. One of the major concems is the Qualification Standards (QS) for
teaching positiorrs in the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (tVL) track being too high, particularly
on lhe T.rainihg requirement. Some TESDA specializations are only up to National Certificate (NC)
level II which limits the bachers' opportunity to qualify for higher positions and promotion (e.g.,
bread and pastry). This also caused the disapproval/invalidation of appoinhnents submitted to
the Civil Service Commission {CSC} on the basis of not meeting the Training requirement.

In thi$ regard, in consultation with the TESDA and with the approval of the CSC, we are hereby
disseminating the attached Resolution No. 1701.192 dated August 7,2fr17 on the Amended
Qualifications Standards for Senior High School Teaching Positions in the Technical-
Vocational-Livelihood Track Hiring to the said positions should meet the requiremenb stated in
the amended QS, su$ect to existing guidelines on lhe appointnnent and promotion of teaching
positions. In addition, the amended QS shall be applied to apgointrnents issued to teaching
positions during SY 20162017 which have been pending widr the CSC. The Schools Division Office
(SDO) shall also be allowed to file a Motion for Recoruideration to their respective CSC Regional
Offices (RO) on the disapproved/invalidabd appointments prior to the approval of the amended
QS, or an Appeal to the Commission proper if the Motion for Reconsideration has already been
denied by the CSC RO prior to the approval of the amended QS.

A DepEd Order to this effect shall be issued in the soonest possible time. Thank you.
