Sumakabilang-buhay ang isang guro matapos mawalan ng malay habang isinasagawa ang class observation sa kaniya sa loob ng isang silid-aralan sa Muntinlupa City kamakailan.
Ayon sa mga ulat, nagtuturo ang guro sa harapan ng klase at dalawang observer nang bigla siyang makaramdam ng pagkahilo, hanggang sa mahimatay at matumba sa sahig na ikinabagok naman ng ulo niya.
Isinugod siya sa ospital subalit binawian din ng buhay ilang oras lang ang lumipas.
Mababasa naman sa opisyal na Facebook page ng Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC) ang kumpirmasyon tungkol sa nabanggit na insidente. Nagpaabot din sila ng pakikiramay sa pamilya ng biktima.
Kinasuhang sekyu dahil sa paghagis ng tuta sa footbridge, hinatulang guilty!
"The Teachers’ Dignity Coalition extends its deepest condolences to the bereaved family of Madam Agnes Buenaflor, who devoted her professional life as a teacher at Pedro E. Diaz High School in Muntinlupa City and dedicated herself to guiding and shaping the city’s young people," mababasa sa kanilang opisyal na pahayag.
"We honor her dedication and commitment to learners and to public education, as we join her family, friends, colleagues and students in mourning her untimely passing."
"The TDC Muntinlupa chapter is in close coordination with the school and division officials relative to this matter, as we collectively seek clarity, extend support to those affected, and pursue actions guided by compassion and responsibility."
Kinalampag din nila ang Department of Education (DepEd) na i-review ang classroom observation na ginagawa sa mga guro.
"In light of the circumstances surrounding the incident—reported to have occurred during a scheduled classroom observation—the TDC reiterates its call on the Department of Education (DepEd) to urgently review its policies on classroom observations as an integral part of the teachers’ performance rating system."
"Classroom observations, while they may be conducted periodically, must be implemented primarily as a supportive and developmental process aimed at improving pedagogy—not as a punitive or judgmental mechanism to determine a teacher’s worth or capability."
"Teachers, especially seasoned ones, are trained professionals who should not be made to repeatedly prove their competence under conditions that may unduly add to their stress and workload."
"The TDC likewise urges the government to ensure the health and wellness of teachers by providing free, accessible, and quality medical services, recognizing that their well-being is essential to the effective delivery of public education."
"This tragic loss underscores the urgent need for supportive and truly developmental policies that uphold teachers’ well-being, professional trust and dignity," anila pa.
Samantala, wala pang reaksiyon, tugon, o opisyal na pahayag ang DepEd tungkol dito.
