English: To improve the working conditions of public school teachers, the proposed measure seeks to reduce the hours of classroom teaching from six to four. When the exigencies of the service require, teachers may render up to eight hours of service upon payment of additional compensation, which will be equivalent to the same rate as their regular remuneration plus at least 25% of their basic pay. The bill also prohibits teachers from being assigned non-teaching tasks, and provides for the temporary hiring of a substitute teacher when an incumbent is on leave.
Filipino: Nakasaad din sa panukalang batas na babawasan ang oras ng pagtuturo ng mga public school teachers sa apat mula anim. Ngunit sa mga pagkakataong kinakailangan, maaaring magtrabaho nang hanggang walong oras ang mga guro at makakatanggap sila ng dagdag na omentong magiging katumbas ng kanilang regular na sahod at may dagdag na 25% ng kanilang basic pay. Ipinagbabawal din ng panukalang batas ang pagbibigay ng mga non-teaching task sa mga guro. Kung ang isang guro naman ay naka-leave, pahihintulutan ang pag-hire ng substitute teacher.
