The Department of Education has confirmed that each teacher with teaching loads shall receive a P5,000 cash allowance to cover internet and communication expenses for the school year 2021-2022.

DepEd Undersecretary for Finance Annalyn Sevilla said that under the General Appropriations Act (GAA) 2021, a "Cash Allowance" with a total budget amounting to P4.37 billion shall be granted to teachers.
