March 31, 2021. The Department of Education has released Memorandum no. 16, s.2021 announcing the adoption of national uniform designs for its teaching and non-teaching personnel. The uniform guidelines were set based on the recommendation of the DepEd Uniform Committee which is composed of teaching and non-teaching employee organizations.
The memorandum further states the annual clothing and uniform allowance in the amount of Six Thousand Pesos (P6,000) or to whichever amount that shall be appropriated in the succeeding budget years for this purpose, shall be released to all eligible personnel not earlier than the first working day of April of the current year.
The school year 2021-2022 shall be considered as transition period wherein employees can still wear their old uniforms. But starting S.Y. 2022-2023, all teaching and non-teaching personnel shall wear the prescribed new set of uniforms as shown below. What do you think of the new designs?
