The Expanded Career Progression (ECP) for public school teachers is a landmark initiative of the Department of Education (DepEd) designed to recognize teachers’ expertise, performance, and years of service through clearer and fairer promotion pathways.
Implemented under DepEd Order No. 024, s. 2025, the ECP provides more opportunities for teachers and school heads to advance in rank. This system promotes professional growth, motivation, and career satisfaction, ensuring that teachers are rewarded for their continued commitment to quality education.
Under the Expanded Career Progression (ECP) system, here are some of the higher positions you may qualify to apply for:
- Teacher II, Teacher III, Teacher IV, Teacher V, Teacher VI, Teacher VII
- Master Teacher I, Master Teacher II, Master Teacher III, Master Teacher IV, Master Teacher V
- School Principal I, II, III, IV (for school heads)
