MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) is set to hire learner support aides (LSAs) to help teachers under the distance learning system as the country continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic. Compensation for LSAs shall follow the minimum daily wage rates set by the National Wages Productivity Commission per region, said Mateo. This means that compensation from LSAs will range from P6,000 to P11,000 depending on their location. Mateo said that LSA experience shall be credited as relevant teaching experience in DepEd. The guidelines for the hiring of the LSAs, however, are still being finalized, said the education official.
