In less than 10 days, the nation will troop to the polls for the 2016 automated national and local elections.
Once again, public school teachers will render service as members of the Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs), support staff, polling center supervisors and member of the board of canvassers.
With this, the Department of Education (DepEd) is confident that our public school teachers will rise to the occasion and take on the responsibility–as they have done in the past–to serve the country.
DepEd reminds its teachers to stay neutral and non-partisan. The Department will work closely with local officials and law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of public school teachers who will render their service during the polls. DepEd has also reactivated its Election Task Force (ETF) to assist those who will serve as BEIs. Also, the Department has partnered with the Public Assistant’s Office (PAO) through a Memorandum of Agreement to provide legal assistance to BEI members should there be election-related suits filed against them.
DepEd believes that our school teachers will give their best for an honest and clean national elections.
