The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has given 1,638 “provisional” teachers priority status in the 2021 Licensure Exam for Professional Teachers (LEPT), Education Secretary Leonor Briones said on Saturday, June 5.
DepEd said the teachers’ provisional appointments are set to expire by July this year.
“We are thankful to the PRC for immediately accommodating our request to include provisional SHS teachers in the first batch of examinees in this year’s LEPT. This would ensure that we have sufficient manpower to allow us to provide unhampered delivery of education services, especially during this time of health crisis,” Briones said in a statement on Saturday, June 5.
