To ensure effective and efficient delivery of basic education services at all governance levels, Education Secretary Sonny Angara has directed offices in the Department to fill all vacant positions.
Pursuant to DepEd Memorandum No. 42, s. 2024, DepEd Bureau and Service Directors in the Central Office, Regional Directors (RDs), and Schools Division Superintendents (SDSs) are instructed to exhaust all measures to expedite the hiring and filling up of all vacant DepEd-authorized positions, including the newly created teaching and school-based non-teaching positions for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024.
As of May 2024, DepEd has 46,703 (4.53%) vacant positions out of 1,030,897 total authorized positions, which can be attributed to several reasons based on gathered reports.
This data is sourced from the Department of Budget and Management-Government Manpower Information System (DBM-GMIS).
DepEd directs all field offices to accomplish a catch-up plan, which can be downloaded through the link: bit.ly/UnfilledCatchUpPlan.
The completed catch-up plan must be submitted to the Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational Development-Personnel Division (BHROD-PD) through the link: bit.ly/HiringCatchUpPlan on or before August 9, 2024.
