AS an incentive on World Teachers’  Day, all public school teachers in Makati City received digital kits to help them cope with distance learning.

The city government said each kit contains a jacket, boom microphone, numeric keypad, mini tripod, ring light, external sound card, backpack with UV sterilizer and tumbler holder, and a pen tablet.

Mayor Abby Binay said the teachers served as an inspiration to the education sector amid the blended learning modality.

“Sa mga minamahal kong guro, lalong-lalo sa #ProudMakitezen teachers. Nais kong ipaabot ang taos-pusong pasasalamat at papuri sa inyong lahat,” Binay said.

“Dahil sa inyong kahandaang magsakripisyo at tugunan ang mga hamon na dulot ng pandemya, tagumpay natin naipagpatuloy ang buong school year sa ilalim ng bagong pamamaraan ng edukasyon,” she added.

World Teachers’ Day, also known as International Teachers’ Day, is held annually on October 5.

The Department of Education earlier announced that President Duterte approved the release of World Teachers’ Day Incentive Benefit in the amount of P1,000 for each public school teacher.
