The document outlines revisions to the hiring guidelines for Teacher I positions in the Philippines' Department of Education (DepEd) effective for the 2007-2008 school year. It establishes committees at the school, district, and division levels to evaluate applicants and create a Registry of Qualified Applicants. The guidelines standardize the recruitment, evaluation, selection, and hiring process for filling teaching vacancies according to education, certification exam scores, experience, and other criteria. Regional DepEd directors are tasked with monitoring implementation of the new procedures.
