The Department of Education in Puerto Princesa City is warning the teachers not to be involved in collecting money from their students for graduation ceremonies.

City DepEd Division Information Officer Imelda Flores said that the warning is being given not only to teachers but to School Principal and officers and members of the Parent Teacher’s Association.

According DepEd Order No. 7 issued this year, extravagant expenses for graduation is strictly prohibited. The school will shoulder expenses for graduation rites under Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE). The parents can contribute but it is not mandatory according to the Order.

Flores said that whoever violates this policy might be suspended or terminated from the job. The City DepEd has informed there will be no graduation for high school students this year following the implementation of K to 12 Program. Completion Certificate for Junior High School will be issued but graduation will only follow after the completion of another two years in Senior High School.
