HB 437

House·20th Congress·Filed Jun 30, 2025

An Act Institutionalizing Support Mechanisms and Protection for Public School Teachers and Personnel in Matters of Student Discipline for Classroom Management

In plain language

The Teacher Protection Act would change the Child Abuse Law so that teachers’ disciplinary actions, when done under DepEd rules, are not treated as child abuse, and it would require the Department of Education to create guidelines, training, counseling support, legal help, and confidentiality protections for teachers handling student discipline.
