The Department of Education (DepEd) is set to release the P20,000 Service Recognition Incentive (SRI) for teaching and non-teaching personnel — a first for the agency’s staff to receive the maximum grant allowed — starting December 20, 2024.
As instructed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Education Secretary Sonny Angara and Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman worked together to provide the full amount of Php 20,000 SRI for 2024.
Following the release of Administrative Order No. 27 by the Office of the President, DepEd has begun processing the necessary requirements for the disbursement of the SRI 2024 — the biggest in history for DepEd.
Angara reiterated his gratitude to Marcos and DBM Secretary Amenah Pangandaman for ensuring that teachers and non-teaching personnel are given the full SRI allowed for their unwavering commitment in basic education.
“We are deeply grateful to President Marcos Jr. for his steadfast support in prioritizing the welfare of teachers and staff who serve as the backbone of the education sector.”
