Ni Michael Imbo
BUTUAN CITY- Mikabat sa 82 ka school board teachers lukop Surigao del Norte ug Siargao DepEd Divisions ang gipatudlo ubos sa School Board Program nga adunay idugang nga P3,000 increase ang binulan nga suholan sa mga magtutudlo, kini ang giluwatang pamahayag ni Governor Sol Matugas atol sa gipahigayong launching sa Kapihan sa Kapitolyo niadtong Biernes (July 9, 2010) didto sa Provincial Convention Center.
Si Gov. Matugas kinsa nakaserbisyo sulod sa 43 katuig isip kanhi Regional Director sa Department of Education (DepEd) ang mipadayag nga prayoridad sa iyang administrasyon ang edukasyon.
Dugang sa pamahayag nga makadawat sa suholan nga P6,000.00 kada bulan ug dunay 100% nga pagsaka gikan sa ilang nadawat kaniadto nga P3,000.00 monthly salary ug may dugang pa nga P1,000.00 chalk allowance.
“We have allocated P4 Million worth of funds for the Local School Board. What I did with the money is that I created 82 positions and I raised their salaries from P3,000 to P6,000 and every December under my watch they will receive a chalk allowance amounted to P1,000,” sulti sa gobernadora.
Giplanohan ni Gov. Matugas nga sa umalabot pang tuig patas-an na pod ang suholan nga mo-level off kini ngadto sa P10,000.00 gumikan kay matud pa nga ang pagtudlo usa ka dakong propesyon nga dili sayon. Gi-prayoridad niining administrasyon ang pagtudlo aron magmalampuson ang kalamboan sa kumunidad.
Malaumon si Matugas nga ang DepEd sa Surigao del Norte mutumaw nga numero unong performer sa nasud.
“I want DepEd in Surigao to be the number one performer in the country. If I made Region VIII number one, why can’t I make Surigao del Norte number one.” Panapos sa gobernador. (Surigao del Norte/PIA-Caraga)

Sa gihimong inisyatibo sa DSWD ug kaabag nga ahensya sa gobyerno mapaabot na ngadto sa katawhan lakip na sa mga biktima nga adunay suportadong balaod nga naglatid sa Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC).
