Want to teach over radio or TV? Call the DepEd

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 22) — The Department of Education has called for more applications for teacher broadcasters for its radio and television platforms.

Education Undersecretary Alain Pascua shared the agency's memorandum on Friday announcing another batch of recruitment of public school teachers for its distance learning program, even though classes were initially scheduled to open on August 24.

Among the requirements for applicants are experience in social media content creation, strong internet connection, as well as a technical support team to help in recording and editing videos and audio lectures.

The agency's television program DepEd TV earlier faced backlash over grammatical errors in broadcasts during a dry run. 

The government recently decided to move the opening of classes for public schools to October 5 amid calls to delay them due to limited resources and preparation. On the other hand, private schools were given the go signal to start ahead.
