The Department of Education (DepEd) has hired 150 qualified and underprivileged students to have an income this summer through the Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES).
The SPES is an annual work-appreciation program under Republic Act 9547 titled “An Act Strengthening and Expanding the Coverage of the Special Program for the Employment of Students, an act to help poor but deserving students pursue their education by encouraging their employment during summer and/or Christmas vacations.”
DepEd Secretary Mona Valisno expressed her appreciation to the SPES project, saying that the summer job will give the students a sense of personal responsibility where they can use their free time more productively by performing office works. In additions, it will allow these students to learn basic office operation, office decorum and other skills which they need in the future.
“This is their best bet for summer, a sort of on- the-job training for 40 days which could give them a good head start,” said Sec. Valisno in a press statement.
This year, DepEd has increased its allocated budget to about P1.6752 million to accommodate qualified students for the said program. The selected students will be paid minimum daily wage, 60 percent of which will be shouldered by DepEd and the remaining 40 percent by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). SPES trainees started reporting to their respective offices last April 5
Atty. Ernesto Sotto Jr. of DepEd’s Center for Students and Co-Curricular Affairs (CSCA) said all the applicants were screened based on complete requirements set by law. According to Atty. Sotto, the applicants were selected based on their qualifications, fitness, need, and skills to match the requirements of the various DepEd offices. The students will do clerical works and coordinative tasks.
For example, students taking courses in line with Accounting and Finance were assigned to the Accounting and Cash and Budget Divisions. On the other hand, IT students were assigned in offices where advance computer-related skills such as programming and designing are useful, Atty. Sotto explained.
The SPES was enacted on February 6, 1992. It was amended when President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed R.A. 9547 into law last April 1, 2009.
Under the new SPES law, applicants must at least be 15 but not more than 25 years old, the combined annual net income after tax of both parents should be P36,000 or less, and at least obtained an average passing grade during the last school term attended. Out-of-school youths should possess skills necessary in office setting.
SPES is a joint undertaking led by the DOLE, DepEd, Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Finance (DOF) and local government units nationwide.
