DepEd continues to locate public school teachers in Marawi




Officials of the Marawi City Schools Division opened two tracking and monitoring desks to locate public school teachers affected by the Marawi crisis.

Anna Zenaida A. Unte, assistant city schools superintendent, said the desks were established to track the whereabouts of their teachers and learners.

A total of 1,676 elementary teachers, 401 secondary teachers, and 25 senior high school teachers in Marawi are affected by the crisis. Around 18,570 learners in elementary level; 3,023 in secondary level; and 537 senior high schools are also affected.

The tracking and monitoring desks are located at the Provincial Capitol in Marawi City and Iligan City Central School.

Unte said they already located 674 teachers staying home-based in Iligan City and eight in evacuation centers in Iligan and Saguiaran town.

"We believe that a lot of our teachers and learners are in nearby municipalities, some in Manila, Cotabato, Butuan, and Cebu," she said.

Unte said the tracking helped Department of Education in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DepED-ARMM) determine the kind of assistance that will be afforded to the displaced teachers.

"Mahirap kasi karamihan sa mga teachers natin umalis sa mga bahay-bahay nila na ang dala lang ay yung suot nilang damit, karamihan sa mga bagay na importante sa kanila ay naiwanan nila gaya ng kanilang ATM cards," she further said.

DepEd has already provided hygiene kits, food packages, and medicines to the teachers. They will also undergo psychosocial support and interventions starting tomorrow, June 13. (APB/PIA-10)
