Dr. Butron: Cainta Senior High School experiences shortage of teaching personnel

Cainta Senior High School, a public school in the Division of Rizal, is currently facing a shortage of teaching personnel

The school's rapid population growth, from 1,000 students in the 2020-2021 school year to 2,800 students this school year, has put a strain on their current personnel

Additionally, the hiring period for applicants has ended, and some teachers have resigned, contributing to the

Current Deficit

Meanwhile, the expected number of personnel for the school is between 80 to 90, however, the actual number of personnel is only 50 due to the low number of applicants

Despite the challenge, school administrators are taking action to address the shortage The school has sent a request for additional teacher deployments to the Division of Rizal and is exploring the possibility of borrowing opinions on whether it would be beneficial or not

When questioned, 34 of the 50 pupils at Cainta Senior High School in the Philippines knew what mandatory ROTC is, while the other 16 had no notion

A recent survey shows on the topic of whether it would be beneficial or not 67% agree while 26% disagree

“Yes, sang-ayon ako dahil makakatulong ito sa kabataan at sa mga estudyante para madisiplina” said by 11-Faith student Mariel Lavarro She also added that it is much better than mandatory military service

Charlie Leong, a student at 11-

Faith, has a different response He said it would be a hassle but that it might also be good for his physicality “Imbes na ipapahinga nalang ng tao ipapractice pa ng tao Pero minsan sang-ayon ako don dahil kasi pangrap ko na mag police pati para malaman ko na den paano maihanda ang katawan ko ” teachers from other schools

According to the school's principal, Dr Victorino V Butron, "Wala sa atin yung hiring, ang process kase nyan ang hiring ay nasa Division office of Rizal Tayo ay nagre-request lang tayo " He added, "Pero ang ginagawa nating action sa school level, nag rerequest tayo na mapahiram tayo ng teachers coming from other school yun yung pinaka possible way para within this year ay madagdagan tayo ng teachers "

The shortage of teaching personnel at Caisen High School highlights the need for more support and resources for schools as they work to provide quality education to students School officials hope that with the help of the community, they will be able to address the current deficit and ensure that students receive the education they deserve
