Existing School Problems
Problems are not stop signs; they are guide and accordingly the best way to
escape them is to solve.
As a teacher, I observed several problems encountered by my recent school
assignment. I feel like I am in a middle of a recollection areas where I could reflect the
meaning and purpose of life.
There is no internet connectivity inside the school campus, variety of tress are
growing in a natural way, classrooms are made of wooden materials, no potable water
supply for visitors, no social hall, grassy basketball court, muddy pathways with no
covered walk, electrical wirings are not well set up, more than a hundred of computers
are not used for instructions, which is a clear view of a digital divide, and the presence
of a teachers’ cottage made also from a light material.
All these matters, matters most to an educator who wanted to have a learning
environment conducive for learnings even amid a mountainous area in Agusan del Sur.
Global emergencies brought by pandemic covid-19 had brought an abrupt
change to education sector in the country. The Department of education needs to

employ measures to cope with the prevailing scenario caused by the pandemic
especially in the modality of delivering the lessons.
Aside from the perennial problems stated above, modular or distance learning
utilized by school as learning modality becomes a challenge to us teachers. Distribution
and retrieval of modules from far flung barangay generated problems to us teachers
specially when we wanted to have the modules be returned on scheduled dates.
Employing interventions like home visit also a problem because of the terrain the
teacher will undertake while riding a “habal-habal” and of course the financial
expenditures incurred by teachers while engaging such activity.
I believe that such challenges and coping mechanisms experienced by teachers
in the implementation of distance learning modality during new normal can be solved
through research.
I. Introduction
The condition that is experienced by the school employing distance
learning modality is not an isolated case. It is most likely experienced by teachers
on other areas of the country. Having them suffered these plights is not for them
to endure but for a department to solve.
Exposing our teachers to risk and treat in the areas penetrated by armed
group will also mean danger to the teachers.
Means to reach out to our students must have a way while not
compromising the safety measures of our educators. A scheme must be
employed to facilitate the challenges being confronted by our teachers in the
countryside.
Hazard pays due for teachers must be provided to them; transportation
allowances perhaps will also be offered. If this issue will be solved in the school
level, then it will be implemented also to other school for not to suffer the same
fate with the teachers of the school implementing distance learning modality in
mountainous areas of the country.
II. Objectives
a. To give just allowance to teaching personnel in high-risk area
b. To motivate human resources assigned in areas difficult to reach
c. To understand the situation among teachers serving in mountainous
areas where the school is located.

d. To assign teaching personnel suited for the job in the field.
III. Discussion and Analysis
It is a common problem among teachers who engage in the follow up
activities of the students in school with such dilemma, teachers have no choice
but to continue the work without being compensated properly by the department.
This research will awaken the hearts of the department to give due support and
benefits of the teachers doing their noble work in some risky or dangerous place
in their respective station.
Well, the department of Education must identify areas in their respective
jurisdictions as to what school are prawn to hazard due to arm conflict, terrain,
and distance. Good for those in the urban areas where transport are available 24
hours a day but bad for those assigned in the remote country where motor is not
available anytime plus with presence of armed groups willing to intimidate and
harass teachers in the fields.
In areas home of the bandits and terrorist groups in Mindanao are the
most vulnerable places in the country. We are not considering yet the threats of
kidnapping and other risky moments when out teachers are engaging their jobs
without any additional benefits or compensation they are to receive in the
performance of their duty. This is the problem or challenges that the department
must investigate with priority.

IV. Recommendations
The department of Education must provide additional allowance to those
teachers not only in the areas with armed groups but also to those areas where
transportation is very difficult due to distance and terrain.
These teachers will be given additional benefits in case of accidents
happening during the discharge of their function aside from the benefits they
receive in GSIS. The transfer of the station or assignment must be done
automatically after 3 years of service to allow them to also enjoy the conditions in
the urban areas.
As we can observed, several teachers had been stationed in the conflict
areas for five years while others enjoying the day without worries and stress. This
is a clear manifestation of injustice on the part of those assigned in those areas.
Male teachers must also be assigned in those areas for they are much stronger
than female.
Today, even the presence of armed group, teachers are not given hazards
pay because a shoot out will be reported first which should not be the case.
Teachers going to their stations along the way were not given accidental benefits
because accordingly it was on Saturday or Sundays not on the weekdays which
is also beyond my understanding.

They report on Sunday because of the distance to their station yet if
accidents occurred along the way they will not be covered by the benefits
because it was a non-working day.
V. Conclusions
Upon citing the recommendations above, teaching personnel in the fields
will execute their job well because they are much motivated to do the work due to
additional compensation. Sometimes they feel like they are neglected because
they don’t have any motivation to move on.
According to expectancy theory of motivation or the expectancy theory is
the belief that an individual will choose their behaviors based on what they
believe will lead to the most beneficial outcome.
This theory is dependent on how much value a person places on different
motivations, resulting in a decision they expect will give them the highest return
for their efforts.
In giving some incentives or more benefits teacher in the high-risk
environment will feel that they are important to the organization.
More so, the performance of the department will be affected if some of its
personnel will not work according to the role they are supposed to play. That is
why every part of the department must be scrutinized with important and will not
be neglected or ignored.
According to Structural Functionalism, every structure in society works
together to play a vital function to maintain stability and the well-being of its
members.
This theory focuses on the roles people perform and the idea that
behavior follows established norms, which helps to maintain social order.
In the case of organization, human resources as an integral part of the
agency must function well. When one part fails, it affects the operation of the
whole organization. That is why it is so important to give necessary
compensation to the teachers handling such risky jobs in the fields.
In giving due benefits and compensation or allowances the department of
education will now be assured that their personnel in the fields will surely work for
the goals of the department and motivated to say “Para sa Bata,Para sa Bayan”.
