Teachers are considered as one of our modern-day heroes. Aside from teaching, they also serve in the community as a part of their profession. Although teachers are regular employees of the government, they also face financial challenges that is why the Department of Education (DepEd) made several partnerships with different reputable institutions to provide efficient and low-interest loans to teachers.
If you are a regular public-school teacher, you may want to consider these institutions for your financial needs.
