As teachers’ efforts are being recognized in building the nation, an Act was
passed into law to look after the welfare of the public school teachers and to
promote, improve, and secure the professional rights of a teacher—known to be the
Republic Act (RA) 4670 or Magna Carta for Public School Teachers.
A teacher is defined in this act as “all persons engaged in teaching (look into
the provision of the law: in any level of instruction, on full-time basis) basic
education in public schools and all other persons performing supervisory functions
in all public schools in basic education, specifically: department heads, assistant
school heads, school heads, district, division, and regional supervisors, assistant
schools division superintendent, schools division superintendents, assistant regional
directors, regional directors and bureau/service/center directors, but shall not
include support personnel such as legal, medical and dental, planning, property/
supply, financial and human resource employees.”
The Magna Carta for Public School Teachers aims to improve the social and
economic status of public school teachers in basic education, their living and
working conditions, employment, and career prospects.
