3. Teaching opportunity for those who have n~uired the Ucensure Examination for
Teachers (LET) eligibility. Qualified graduates who have not yet passed the LET shall be
allowed to teach provided that they pass the LET within five ~ years from the date of
hiring.

For two consecutive years, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has approved
DepEd's request for the creation of a total of 1,122 SST I positions, 311 in FY 2016 and 811 in SY
2017, to accommodate these scholar-graduates in the SHS. In the past months, however, this Office
has been receiving communications regarding scholar-graduates whose appointments were
disapproved by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) field offices on the grounds that the
Department has no CSC-approved Qualification Standards (QS) for SST I position.

In line with the foregoing, in consultation with the IXJST-SEI and with the approval of the esc,
we are hereby disseminating the attached Resolution No. 1800246 dated 06 March 2017 on the
Amended Qualifications Standards for Special Science Teacher I Position in the Department of
Education Senior High School. Hiring to the said positions should meet the requirements stated
in the amended QS. Upon the official endorsement from the DepEd Central Office of the names
and preferred stations of the scholar-graduates, the concerned Schools Division Offices (SDO) shall
coordinate with the scholar-graduate with regard to the documentary requirements for
appointment. To clarify, scholar-graduates who have yet to pass the LET shall be given provisional
appointments with the condition that they pass the LET within five (5} years from the date of the
first hiring.

In addition, as stated in the Resolution, the amended QS shall apply to appointments issued for
SST I position during SY 2016-2017 which have been pending with the CSC. The SDO shall also be
allowed to file a Motion for Reconsideration to their respective esc Regional Offices (RO) on the
disapproved/invalidated appointments prior to the approval of the amended QS, or an Appeal to
the Commission proper if the Motion for Reconsideration has already been denied by the CSC RO
prior to the approval of the amended QS.

A DepEd Order to this effect shall be issued in the soonest possible time.

For your guidance and immediate dissemination.

curative effect harmonizing the DepEd's requirement for the SHS SST I teaching position
and the objectives of R.A. No. 10612.

Section 22, Chapter 5, Title 1-A, Book V of Executive Order No. 292 provides
that:
"(2) The establishment. administration and maintenance of qualification
standards shall be the responsibility of the department or agencv. with
the assistance and approval of the Civil Service Commission and in
consultation with the Wage and Position Classification Office."
(Underscoring supplied)

Paragraph 3, Policy No. 2, Part I (General Policies) of CSC Resolution No.

030962 {Revised Policies on Qualification Standards), dated 12 September 2003
states that:

"Agencies are encouraged to set specific or higher standards for their

positions. These standards shall be submitted to the Commission for
approval, and once approved, they shall be adopted by the Commission as
qualification standards in the attestation of appointments of the agency
concerned."

An evaluation of the proposed QS shows that the education requirement is more

specific and focused on Science and Technology priority courses identified by the DOST.
Moreover, the proposed eligibility requirement provides for appointees who are not R.A.
1080 eligible to pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) within five (5} years
after the date of first hiring. Further, the proposed qualification standards show that it is
compliant with the existing rules and policies on the establishment of qualification
standards for positions in government.

WHEREFORE, the Commission RESOLVES to APPROVE the amended

qualification standards for the SST I position in the SHS of the DepEd as follows:

Position Trtle SG Education Experience Training Eligibility
