1. Security of Tenure/ Appointment J U L I E A N N T. D A T O

2. SECURITY OF TENURE/ APPOINTMENT According to Republic Act No. 4670 also known as the Magna Carta For Public School Teachers approved and signed on June 18, 1966, under Article II Recruitment and Career, Section 5. Tenure of Office, “Stability on employment and security of tenure shall be assured the teachers as provided under existing laws.”

3. Subject to the provisions of Section three (Recruitment and Qualification) hereof, teachers appointed on a provisional status for lack of necessary civil service eligibility shall be extended permanent appointment for the position he is holding after having rendered at least ten years of continuous, efficient and faithful service in such position.

4. Section 63 or the Probationary Period; Regular or Permanent states that “A probationary period of not more than three years in the case of the school teaching personnel and not more than six months for non-teaching personnel shall be required for employment in all private schools. A school personnel who has successfully undergone the probationary period herein specified and who is fully qualified under the existing rules and standards of the school shall be considered permanent. Security of Tenure in Private Schools according to Manual of Regulations for Private Schools

5. Section 64 or the Security of Employment for Private Schools states that “Stability and Security of Employment shall be assured all private personnel as provided for under this Manual and other applicable laws. School personnel shall be provided with a contract or appointment in accordance with their employment status in school.”

6. According to Policy Instructions No. 11 issued by the Department of Labor and Employment, "the probationary employment of professors, instructors and teachers shall be subject to standards established by the Department of Education and Culture". Said standards are embodied in paragraph 75 of the Manual of Regulations for Private Schools, to wit: 75 . Full time teachers who have rendered three consecutive years of satisfactory service shall be considered permanent. The legal requisites, therefore, for acquisition by a teacher of permanent employment, of security of tenure, are as follows: 1 ) the teacher is a full time teacher; 2 ) The teacher must have rendered three consecutive years of service; and 3 ) such service must have been satisfactory.

7. The standards by which the service of the probationary teacher may be adjudged satisfactory so that he may acquire permanence in his employment or security of tenure, are set by the school. The setting of those standards, and the determination of whether or not they have been met, have been held with this Court to be prerogative of the school, consistent with academic freedom and constitutional autonomy by which educational institutions have the right to choose who should teach.

8. The acquisition of security of tenure by the teacher in the manner indicated signifies that he shall thenceforth have the right to remain in employment as such teacher until he reaches the compulsory retirement age in accordance with the rules of the school or the law. That tenure, once acquired, cannot be adversely affected or defeated by requiring the teacher to execute contracts stipulating the termination of his employment upon the expiration of a fixed period or term. Contracts of that sort are anathema and will be struck down as null and void.
