BNHS Non-Teaching Staff

Where did you get a copy of your Certificate of Good Moral?”

“Ah! In the guidance office. Please ask, ‘Ma’am Guidance’.”

Do you remember the name of the lady that assisted you upon your first day at school? Or, the ‘Sir’ that gave you a Paracetamol when you’re having a migraine?

They are the non-teaching personnel, the ones who often extend their hands to assist while having a nickname of “Ma’am Guidance” and “Kuyang Guard”.

When people think of Department of Education or DepEd, they only think of teachers and students. When people think of educational institutions, they visualize a faculty of teachers, group of students and a principal overlooking the existence of the non-teaching personnel as if they not exist at all.

Non-Teaching personnel such as the Administrative Officers, Accounting Department, Registrars, Guidance Counsellors, Administrative Aides, Security and Utility personnel have to be recognized for they also have RPMS-IPCRF in order for them to be rated with their accomplished task for the year wherein their indicated objectives have lived up and provide meaningful contribution to the Mission and Vision of DepEd. They form an integral part of the educational system and their services are indispensable in the quest to enhance quality education and accomplished youths.

With every notable institutions lays a competent group of non-teaching personnel who may experience degradation because of their salary grade and an understatement for the volume of job that they are doing.

The non-teaching personnel are the faces that you cross path with every time when you have a headache, acted a misdemeanor or maybe if you needed validations for your grades, they are every institution’s fireflies--- the light bearers of information, relieve and documents. The often forgotten pillars of every institution that plays a great role in honing an environment suitable enough for every learner, they just don’t get enough credit that they deserve.

Like any other employees, they need a support for them to grow and be able to deliver better services to the educational system. Thus, DepEd should also provide necessary trainings and seminars to develop their skills and instill a high degree of professionalism but first, the Philippine Society needs to know that there will be no professionals, no educational institutions, without them the fireflies of the institutions-the non-teaching personnel.
