There’s no more question why you are on this page and why you
want to apply for the Teacher 1 position. We can’t deny the fact that
the salary of teachers teaching in the public school is higher than
those who teach in most private schools. Plus, when you work as a
public servant, you are also entitled to security of tenure. Once you
are hired, rest assured that you’ve finally got your job until the day of
your retirement unless you violate some rules and get dismissed.
These are just some of the reasons why a lot of professional teachers
especially the young ones, do apply for a job in public schools and
hope to be a part of the RQA (Registry of Qualified Applicants).
1. Application Letter
Write a coherent and direct to the point application letter. Do not copy the application
letters you can find online although you may refer to some to have a glimpse of what is
ideal when writing one. It is necessary to submit an application letter to see how well
you can communicate in a written well.
READ:
Submitting photocopies of the specialized training you attended will increase the chance
of you getting hired as it adds to your points!
The DepEd ranking system is based on points depending on your qualifications and
achievements so it advisable for you to provide the certificates of all those teacher
training or seminars you attended.
REMINDERS
All pertinent documents must be arranged appropriately following the above sequence and to be
placed in a long white folder with a fastener.
Make sure to organize your file neatly.
Bring all the original documents for the verification process.
Prepare at least two sets of documents.
Ask the school head or the one in charge of the application when
You will be notified once you missed submitting a single document. Make sure you submit the
pending requirements before the deadline of submission of application.
You assume full responsibility and accountability on the validity and authenticity of the
documents you provide. Any violation will merit similar sanctions after due process.
The hiring process is based on pointing and ranking system. You will be scored based on
your qualifications and performance during the application process. The higher your
rank is, the more chance you have in getting hired immediately.
1. INQUIRY
It is important to inquire about the application process of the division first. Remember
that different divisions have their way of selecting qualified applicants so visit the school
of your prospect and ask the school head or the officer in charge of collecting application
documents about the application period.
2. ONLINE APPLICATION
DepEd requires you to accomplish the online application to encode your details in their
system. To register online, use your current and valid email address.
If you are an elementary teacher, you have to submit your application to the head or
principal of the elementary school which is nearest to the place where you live. It is
because of the provision of R.A. No. 8190 known as the Localization Law which let
teachers and other government employees to be assigned to a place near where they
reside.
4. WAITING FOR ANNOUNCEMENT
You were told to wait for the announcement about the schedule of these three critical
processes you have to undergo before getting hired:
Interview
Demonstration teaching
English Proficiency Test
The date, time, and venue of the process mentioned above will be announced to you
through call or text message by the person-in-charge. To make sure you keep updated of
the dates, you can get or ask for the contact number of the one in charge of receiving the
application.
5. INTERVIEW
Make sure you appear on the date of interview. The DepEd prioritizes no one. You have
to follow the dates they scheduled strictly.
Try to think of solutions which is not typical but practical. That way, you will win the
panel’s approval.
If you are a teacher with timid personality, group interview sounds an enormous hassle.
But you have no choice but to undergo this process. After all, you are a teacher and so
you must learn how to present and to compose yourself in front of a group or many
people as you will be doing it so once you are hired. Try practicing now and participate
in activities that will help you boost your confidence in facing people (e.g., participate in
workshops, volunteer to be the presenter during seminars or training, etc.).
After the interview, wait for the announcement about the demo teaching.
6. DEMONSTRATION TEACHING
Again, demonstration teaching is done in different ways in different divisions. If there
are many applicants, expect that your demo teaching will not last that long, but it is still
best to prepare.
Being in the RQA list doesn’t guarantee that you can immediately get hired and start
working in the school you desire to teach. If you are not on top of the list, you will be
called later to report for they prioritize those who got higher points during the
application process but rest assured that there’s a job waiting for you. Just wait. It takes
time.
Take note:
If you are in the bottom of the RQA list and haven’t got a call, try to follow-up your
application by calling the division’s office or the school where you submitted your
application.
For those who graduated with a non-education degree but wish to apply as public school
teachers, yours shall also be computed by getting your college GWA. This will be
combined with the GWA of your 18 education units. This means to say that you can
apply only if you have taken 18 units in education. A corresponding transmutation table
will be constructed for those who have a grading system other than the ones mentioned
earlier.
6. Interview – 10%
Your personality and potential are measured here. Be alert, self-confident, and poised
throughout the interview. Take note of your appearance and voice projection. The way
you present ideas, judgment and decisions are also taken note of. Don’t be rattled when
you are asked a barrage of questions. Show that you are not easily stressed out.
If you have been contemplating to apply as a public school teacher in the Philippines,
now is the right time to start applying. I hope this hub will guide you through your
application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ensure that you have selected at least one (1) position you are applying for. For teacher-
applicants, make sure the right Division Office is selected in order for your data to be
sent to them accordingly.
If you registered prior or earlier than April 25, 2015 and have not yet received the
verification email, we suggest that you check your spam folder first. Please refer to
DepEd OAS FAQs#3.pdf Q6 for the possible reasons why.
I already encoded and submitted my PDS online but I was not able to
receive my Unique Applicant Number (UAN).
Non issuance of UAN may depend on any of these: 1. You forgot to select the position
applying for. The UAN is dependent upon the position. If no position is selected /
chosen, the UAN will not be generated. 2. You have selected the position but didn’t click
‘Save’. 3. You thought you already submitted your PDS, but actually didn’t.
I am a new graduate, I don’t have a TIN / I don’t have a TIN. How can I apply
online?
b. SSS number
c. Philhealth number
d. Voter’s ID
e. Postal ID
f. PRC License number
Please register again, this time using a valid, existing and correct email address and TIN.
Regardless if the TIN had been previously used in the registration, as long as it is not yet
linked to a verified user the TIN remains available.
I just want to ask if the given Applicant Number, can it be used with other
positions?
Yes. Each applicant is given only one (1) UAN valid upon application and for 1 school
year if UAN starts with T, and valid for 1 year if UAN starts with N.
You can save or download your PDS by login in to your account. Click the Green ‘Save &
Print PDS’ button on your dashboard below your name. Available since April 27, 2015.
No. There is no other way of acquiring the UAN except through the online application
system because it is auto-generated upon submission.
I can’t access my account. Your site always say I’m not registered yet but
once I try to register again it says my email and tin already exist.
This happens when you have already registered your data but may have skipped or
forgotten to check the verification email sent and proceeded to the login page. It is an
important step to confirm that the email address you registered exist by clicking the
word ‘here’. After which, you are directed again to the site to login.
Please take note that the verification link is only valid for one click.
The link ‘here’ in the confirmation email sent to you after you successfully registered
your data is only valid for 1 click. Clicking it again will cause this message.
To address this, what you can do is change your password by clicking the link “forgot
password?” found in the application home page (as shown on the right) and follow the
instructions.
My work experience did not appear in my e-PDS, what should i do?? I tried
to update it but still my work experience is empty.
None. There is no deadline for the online registration. However, you need to abide by
the deadline set by the Division Offices for the submission of your documents.
This is a wrong assumption that the UAN is transferable and that a UAN can be issued
to an email address that was never verified.
corinthian.donato@yahoo.com
P.S. …you’ll only have to do this once. Future emails will appear immediately in my
inbox.
Email addresses registered to email filtering system like Boxbe prevents the DepEd
email verification from going straight to your inbox unless DepEd PTS register with
Boxbe first. You may choose to disable or unsubscribe to Boxbe or register again using a
different email address and a different ID number that is not subscribe to such
application.
To check if your PDS had been successfully submitted, please visit your dashboard and
you will find only two (2) buttons: (1) Blue Re-Open button below your name and (2)
Green Next button below the position applied for. If the ‘Add’ button is visible beside the
‘Next’ button, then it is not yet / not successfully submitted. Reminding again to make
sure to choose the correct Region and Division and select Teacher I before submitting
your PDS.
Inability to edit your data or position applied for or when ‘Save’ button goes missing,
means you already submitted you application. Just reminding you that when you
submitted you online PDS you passed through 2 levels of security question telling you
that you can no long edit your PDS including the apply position dashboard.
What you can do is to click the button to ‘Re-open PDS’. You will be asked to provide
reason why you want to Re-open your PDS. Please be informed that the request is
subject to approval, hence not all request is approved.
The verification email was already sent to my email but the problem this
time is that when I click “here” the page of it doesn’t appear any messages
like ‘Congratulations! ‘ I just saw the logo of DepEd and also the Register on
the other side. What will I do?
Remember that the verification email tests if the email address that you registered into
the system is valid or not. Technically, this is a positive response from the system. A
click to the word ‘here’ meant that the email address registered is valid and can now
create their PDS. What the applicant can do is to re-load the page again until they can
see the application page, enter their username and password the registered and click
‘Sign In’ to start encoding their PDS.
Here are the possible reasons why you didn’t received your verification email:
1. You registered an email address that do not exist. We’d like to stress that the DepEd
Online Application System DO NOT ISSUE or CREATE email address. Hence, if you
registered yourname@deped.gov.ph but is not a DepEd employee we can guarantee you
that you will never ever get your verification email.
2. You registered an email address that you no longer have access to due to forgotten
password. We suggest that you create a new email address first.
3. You registered an email address that you still know the password but never accessed
for a long time. We suggest that you create a new email address first.
4. You registered an email address that is existing but incorrectly spelled (but hard to
prove) [yourname@gmai.com /yourname@yah00.com /
yourname@yahoocom / yourname@gmall.com]
5. You are subscribed to email filtering system like Boxbe, SpamArrest, ZoneAlarm and
the like. We do not subscribe to such, hence you will never receive our email.
Hence, you are advised to register again using an existing email address. Also, if you
registered before April 25 and haven’t received your verification email, you are also
advised to register again.
I accidentally submitted my PDS but I was not yet finished filling out all the
information. What should I do? / I missed filling up the position I am
applying for before proceeding with the online PDS. How can I solve this
issue?
Please login to your account and check your dashboard. If you have successfully
submitted your PDS before you should find the ‘Re-open PDS’ button below your name
that will allow you to send a request for your PDS to be re-opened again for editing. Be
reminded that this request is subject to approval. You will be asked to state the reason
why you are requesting for the re-opening of your PDS.
For those fields that need not have data in it may be left blank, please refrain from
placing any invalid information such as “N/A” or “none”. This include people that do not
have middle name nor extension name (Sr., III, etc) or is still single or is not a
member/affiliate of any organization.
When there is a need to place special letters such as “N” or “n”, please make use of the
regular “N” or “n” to replace these characters.
The Registry of Qualified Applicants or RQA is prepared and released by the Division
Offices. Applicant are requested to inquire from the Division Office from which the
school that they applied to belong. (eg. Applicants to schools in Sta. Rosa, Laguna may
visit the Division of Sta. Rosa in Sta. Rosa, Laguna; while applicants to schools in San
Pedro, Laguna may visit/inquire from the Division of Laguna in Sta. Cruz, Laguna)
We are currently working on that issue. After encoding your spouse information, make
you to save your PDS before moving on to another tab. You can also print preview your
PDS to confirm that your spouse information is there.
I already submitted my PDS but my UAN is not issued. What will I do?
Please login your account and check your dashboard. Make sure that you have selected
the correct Office level, Region/CO Strands, Division Office and Position you are
applying to.
May applicant number na ako dati pero hindi po ako na hire, nag-aapply po
ako ulet for teacher 1 position, pwede ko pa po ba gamitin yung dati kong
UAN?
Yes, will use the same UAN that you got last year (2015) because it has no expiration.
However, you still need to update your PDS to reflect your latest information.
Steps:
So, are you prepared now? From TEACHERPH, we wish you the best of luck! Welcome
and happy teaching!
