Employment Status of Private School Teachers

“The governing law for the employment status of teachers/professors/instructors are the manuals of regulations for private schools.” (Lolita Lacuesta v. Ateneo de Manila University (G.R. No. 152777, December 09, 2005)

In 1992, the then Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), now known as the Department of Education (DepEd), issued the Revised Manual of Regulations for Private Schools (1992 Manual), which covered all employees in all levels of private educational institutions.
