In the previous blog,we have talked about the professionalization of teachers. The things that they
should’ve undergone before being called a professional is listed there. Now we are to discuss the
Code of Ethics for professional teachers in which they must adhere, observe and practice.
So what is this code of ethics for professional teachers all about? To be able to understand better, I
will elaborate each article listed under the code of ethics for professional teachers.
The provision of this code shall be applied to all the teachers in all schools in the Philippines. By this
doing this, quality education will be achieved for all Filipino citizens.
Here, the teacher is said to build every individual’s national morality to the love of the country to the
extent that they are aware of their surroundings and obey the laws implemented by the country. It is
believed that schools are the nurseries of the citizens of the state. Therefore, teachers must be able
to fully transmit cultural and educational heritage to their learners. Teachers must also be role-
models when it comes to human rights and responsibilities.
Being a professional teacher is a serious matter. They must love and embrace their profession
wholeheartedly. In addition to that, they must be dedicated for it is part of their pride. Every teacher
must have this attitude of having an open mind while being aware of continuous growth for
betterment.
Teachers must work with each other for they make up one community. They shall be imbued with
the spirit of professional loyalty, mutual confidence, faith in one another, self-sacrifice for the
common good, and full cooperation with colleagues. When the best interest of the learners, the
school, or the profession is at stake in any controversy, teachers shall support one another.
Teachers must be honest and respectful. They are also expected to be knowledgeable and must
understand the policies implemented in the school which they are working with. They shall not make
any false accusations unless they find faults or injustice or superiors, in that case they must speak or
raise their grievances within democratic process.
If teachers stand as lights to a students’ dark path, school officials are the ones who stand as guides
of the teachers. They provide for the needs of the teachers and they ensure that they keep the
professionalization of teachers on track.
Article VIII – The Teacher and Learners
The teachers must be fair to their students. They shall recognize that the interest and welfare of the
learners as their first and foremost concern, and shall handle each learners justly and impartially.
Also, they are to insure that the maximum development of learners is adequate. As second parents,
they must extend needed assistance by preventing and solving learners’ problems and difficulties.
Teachers must keep in touch with the parents of their learners by building a good relationship via
communication. It will build a better understanding between them which will help with the learners’
development and will diminish unfair criticism.
Every teacher has the right to do business as long as it’s not affecting his/her work. They should also
maintain a good reputation with respect to financial matters.
Teachers must always look up to Almighty God or Being as their guide of their own destiny. They
should also live with dignity. And as a powerful role-model to the community, they must live with a
very good personality and be an inspiration to people around them.
Any violation of any provision of this code shall be sufficient ground for the imposition against the
erring teacher of the disciplinary action consisting of revocation of his Certification of Registration
and License as a Professional Teacher, suspension from the practice of teaching profession, or
reprimand or cancellation of his temporary/special permit under causes specified in Sec. 23, Article III
or R.A. No. 7836, and under Rule 31, Article VIII, of the Rules and Regulations Implementing R.A.
7836.
Article XIII – Effectivity
This Code shall take effect upon approval by the Professional Regulation Commission and after sixty
(60) days following its publication in the Official Gazette or any newspaper of general circulation,
whichever is earlier.
