10. Position Classification
There is no distinction between the duties of one teaching
position and those of other teaching positions. All are involved in
classroom teaching. Hence, teaching positions are classified based on
the personal qualifications of the incumbents thereof rather than based
on the preponderant duties and responsibilities and qualification
requirements of the positions. This concept deviates from existing
standards that work assignments determine the classification and pay
levels of positions. The deviation is made in the case of teachers to
encourage and reward initiatives for professional growth which are vital
in a dynamic educational system. The progression to a higher position
level, which does not entail an increase in duties and responsibilities,
recognizes the increase in the academic preparation level.
