The PPSTA Educational Assistance Program offers two types of education assistance, the Summer Educational Assistance Program and the Full Educational Assistance Program. The PPSTA grants P3,000 for each summer scholar and P15,000 for each full scholar. The educational assistance is given based on the number of PPSTA members within an accredited local chapter.
The Philippine Public School Teachers Association (PPSTA) is the biggest and foremost professional association of the public school teachers in the country with a stronghold of more than 200,000 members, which include school administrators, supervisors, classroom teachers, non-teaching support personnel, or almost any one who is under the employ of the Department of Education. The PPSTA has grown through the years to be the major unifying force for government teachers striving to reach the ideals of education and their profession. It also serves as financial security provider through its retirement, life insurance and loan programs.
From the humble beginnings in the 1930s led by the dynamic and youthful founder Ricardo Castro, the association has blossomed to be an unwavering ally for the Filipino educators. Be it through its finance-related service arms like the Mutual Aid System and the Mutual Retirement Benefit System, professional scholarship programs or as a steadfast supporter of advocacies for the cause of education in the Philippines, the PPSTA continues to loyally fulfill its prime role of being the mother organization of public school teachers in the Philippines.
Through the years, the PPSTA remains as the indubitable exponent for quality education. As the first and only nationwide professional organization for teachers, it has been riding the waves of change and development and has been steadfast in its mission of upholding the dignity of the teaching profession and advocating teachers’ welfare.
As the foremost teacher association and financial security provider preferred by public school teachers, PPSTA aims to actualize its motto, “Teacher you’re a hero, PPSTA cares for you”. PPSTA shall always be the foremost teachers’ association and financial security provider preferred by public school teachers because it embodies their personal and professional aspirations, helps them to realize those aspirations, and champions the values that teachers impart and stand for.
