GENERAL SANTOS CITY — Seven newly-hired public school teachers, formerly Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), have received teaching packages from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in Region 12.<\/p>\n

Sisinio Cano, DOLE 12 director, said Wednesday the seven teachers received P10,000 worth of teaching kits through a grant facilitated by the agency\u2019s National Reintegration Center for OFWs (NRCO).<\/p>\n

He said the beneficiaries were among the former OFWs in the region \u00a0hired in June by the Department of Education (DepEd) through flagship convergence initiative \u201cSa Pinas,Ikaw ang Ma\u2019am\/Sir\u201d or Spims program.<\/p>\n

Cano said the provision of the teaching kits is aimed to further improve the capacities of the newly-hired teachers.<\/p>\n

The teaching kits were composed of a computer tablet, voice-aide lapel and head-worn microphone, 32 gigabyte secure digital or SD card, sets of flash cards reference materials, and writing tools.<\/p>\n

The recipients were were Lilybeth Cabrela, Alma Mae Ugdamin and Lloyd Mark Ugdamin of this city; Genovia Relampagos and Ronnel Paga of Kidapawan City; Gerly Macalisang of Matalam, North Cotabato; and, Analyn Cape of Tacurong City.<\/p>\n

More than 30 former OFWs from parts of Region 12 had been hired by DepEd since 2015 through the SPIMS.<\/p>\n

NRCO-12 earlier said it endorsed 56 applications last year, some of which were still pending, and processed 23 more this year.<\/p>\n

Jeanette Esca\u00f1o, NRCO-12 coordinator, said they expect the hiring more applicants in the region in the coming months.<\/p>\n

SPIMS is a reintegration\u00a0initiative DOLE that is being implemented in partnership with DepEd, Commission on Higher Education, Professional\u00a0Regulation Commission, Philippine Normal University and the Technical Education and Skills\u00a0Development Agency.<\/p>\n

It aims to provide permanent teaching positions in public schools for OFWs who are licensed teachers.<\/p>\n

It is open to OFWs who are passers of the Licensure Examination for Teachers or LET, with teaching\u00a0experiences of at least five years.<\/p>\n

Those who have teaching experience beyond five years, or have no teaching experience at all will need to undergo an online refresher course though the PNU.<\/p>\n

An applicant must be an OFW who has arrived in the country for not more than three years based on the current year.<\/p>\n
