AUTONOMOUS Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm) Governor Mujiv Hataman has reminded the teachers to exert best efforts in imparting knowledge to the youth citing “teaching is more of service and commitment that livelihood.”

Hataman issued the statement signed on Monday, January 15, the appointment of 75 newly-hired teachers for the province of Maguindanao.

“You chose this path because it is your passion -- because you are committed and determined that you want our youth to learn. The regional government will not neglect your efforts and will provide what you deserve,” Hataman said.

Hataman said those appointed are qualified and do not have those so-called backers debunking the misconception that appointments in Armm are tainted with corruption.

He said they adopted a mechanism to ensure that appointees are well-distributed to schools that are in need. Along with the appointment order is a deployment order.

Lawyer Rasol Mitmug, Jr., Department of Education in Armm (DepEd-Armm) secretary, has reminded the teachers that the region’s “youth is expecting to receive quality education.”

It was his first appearance as the newly-appointed secretary of DepEd-Armm.

Hataman said Monday’s appointments comprise just the first batch of new teachers in Armm since more appointees are expected to be made this year.

“The process will be easier now. Our main goal is to finish all appointments, including senior high school, by first quarter of this year,” he added.
