The Department of Education (DepEd) on Tuesday said it is set to release P26.9 billion for the salary differential of all eligible public school teachers and non-teaching staff, in accordance with Executive Order No. 64 issued by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

DepEd Sec. Sonny Angara earlier confirmed that the Department of Budget Management (DBM) has approved the release of the salary differential in the education sector.

In a statement, DepEd Undersecretary for Finance Annalyn Sevilla said the salary differential for the January to August 2024 period will be released within the month.

“The September payroll is authorized to include these payments,” she said.

Sevilla added that some DepEd regional offices are already processing the payment of salary differentials following the release of their Notice of Official Salary Adjustment (NOSA).

“Upon receiving the NOSA, the allotments, coordinated with the DBM, allow us to use our savings temporarily, with DBM committing to replenish these funds,” she said.

As of August 31, the DepEd regional offices of Ilocos, Central Luzon, and Mimaropa have fully released their NOSA.

The Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao, and Davao Region, meanwhile, have started their partial NOSA releases.
