The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has authorized the creation of 2000 new Teacher I positions for the Alternative Learning System (ALS) of the Department of Education (DepEd). The rank of Teacher I corresponds to Salary Grade 11, which is equivalent to a P20,179 monthly gross salary.
The said teaching positions are created specifically for FY 2018 ALS learners. ALS is a program by DepEd, which aims to help elementary and secondary school dropouts, as well as those who were not able to receive formal schooling. Through ALS, out-of-school youth and adults are given an opportunity to finish their primary or secondary education through an alternative means of learning and certification.
The 2000 new positions will be assigned nationwide, as follows:
| REGION | Teacher I Positions |
| ARMM | 80 |
