CHED: Displacements due to new curriculum not only focused on Filipino teachers

The Commission on Higher Education has clarified that not only Filipino teachers will be affected upon the implementation of the new General Education Curriculum (GEC) but also teachers of other subjects as the displacement spans all disciplines that will be removed from GE courses and moved to K-12 curriculum.

According to CHED Chairperson Patricia Licuanan, the claims stating that around 85,000 Filipino teachers will be displaced resulting from the new GEC is "inaccurate" although there are still "rough figures" in determining the exact number of teachers who might be displaced.
