EXPLANATORY NOTE

It cun be said that part of what and who we are today can be attributed to our teachers in
our youth. Teaching is indeed a noble profession that not everyone has the mettle to be a teacher,
‘The low salaries, the long working hours and unfavorable working conditions are just some factort
that render teaching unenviable to many. Teaching can really be very tiring and stressful. But to
some people who are truly dedicated and passionate in imparting knowledge and experience to the
next generation, teaching can be a very fulfilling job.

In most schools, administrators and officers often get a separate room or office for
themselves while class advisers usually stay in their designated classtooms, But how about the
ordinary subject teacher who holds no position or advisory class? The simple act of providing our
teachers with clean and decent faculty rooms should not be an issue at all.

Providing our teachers with a place to stay in between classes, a place where they can relax
and de-stress, goes a long way in uplifting their spirits, boosting their morale and rejuvenating
their mood to teach, It can also be a place for interaction with colleagues or a place of respite from
a hard day’s lecture, All in all, it provides for the improvement of a teacher’s over-all well-being

With the above-mentioned premises, immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
