Summary:This study investigated the public schoolteachers' level of awareness of the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers (RA 4670). An online survey was administered to public schoolteachers from three congressional districts and data were treated using appropriate statistical tools. The results revealed the respondents' high awareness on the observance of due process at each stage of any disciplinary procedure, gradual salary progression every 3 years and required information was given in case of transfer. However, they were less aware of the permanency status of non-eligible teachers after rendering 10 years of service with no probationary period for eligible teachers. Also, there was a significant difference between teachers from districts 2 and 3, with the latter having a higher level of awareness. Therefore, this study recommends intensified information dissemination of the Magna Carta for Teachers, and further study may examine the relationship between teachers' experience and awareness level of the said law.
