Sim cards given by DepEd to teachers are no longer getting load every month

Sim cards given by DepEd are no longer getting load every month. Teachers are now complaining about this matter at present. Remember when the first DepEd simcard has always a corresponding load in it? It was the first simcard released to teachers. There was even teachers who complained about it for they can’t use it in their area.

Now, DepEd released another simcards (NEAP) which teachers find it hard to activate. These two sim cards given by DepEd are no longer getting any load every month. Teachers find it funny that they have so many simcards yet they don’t have enough gadgets to insert it to.

It is unclear if this problem is true to all teachers nationwide or not. Yet, many teachers complain that the simcard thing is useless now. Here’s why these simcards are now not useful:

1. Even before during the release of the first simcards, not all teachers were happy. Not all teachers can use it provided the area of some with no proper signal. The loads will expire unused. It is a waste of money, isn’t it? If only there were interventions made, but there was none.

2. There were two simcards and teachers get confused which is which? Is this not a waste of budget by DepEd? I guess each simcard cost a penny so in total of all simcards, it cost something big as well. Why not continue the first simcard?

3. Teachers confused themselves by the simcards they are holding. Some of them disregard the simcards because they can’t use it. They were still suing their own money for internet.

4. The simcards stop giving loads for some so in is now useless. If all these were true (no load) then what is the purpose of inserting those simcards for a longer period?

These simcards given by DepEd are no longer getting a load every month. So what is now the next move by DepEd? Will they issue another simcard again or not? – Alec | Helpline PH
