Reflection Paper - Teacher's Salary
Partly of the topic that we discussed during
our class is the salaries of teachers and others professionals. I was conducted
an interview with my friend, a teacher. According to Mrs. Melitona A. Cagasan, a
Master Teacher II of Camaman-an, Elementary School. She started teaching way
back 1988 and she received 3,000.00 only. The low salary of the teachers did
not discourage her to be part of noble's profession. Her 24 years of service being
a teacher was very meaningful because she witnessed the success of her pupils under
her class. The true service cannot be measured by money or whatever things in exchange
of good services.
I was also interviewed with Nancy Travero,
Ph.D., she mentioned that her salary for her first teaching in the year 2007 being
a teacher 1, step-1 is more or less 10,000.00. The government gives a salary subsidy
of 6,500.00 starting 2007-2011. Now she received a 21,000.00 plus (PERA) amounting
2,000.00 as MT-3.
According to (RTWPB) tripartite board,
for private employment they received a regular wage amounting 286.00 per day, minimum
of 8 working hours. For other professionals such as medical doctors, lawyers, brokers,
etc. are earned based on their services rendered.
My discernment still in place because I
always looked forward for the betterment of my family but the good service that
I can render is the best. I'm already aware of the difference in working between
the government and private institution. My desire to teach is not only for earning
but for the transformation of the individual. I will use my desired profession soon
in uplifting the life of people wherever I encounter especially the people of hinterlands.
