A Growing City Needs More Teachers
Lucena City, as the capital of Quezon Province and a key education hub in the CALABARZON region, continues to see steady growth in student enrollment. The city’s public schools serve thousands of learners across elementary and secondary levels. With the rollout of the K to 12 program now fully in place, the demand for qualified teachers in specialized subjects — particularly in senior high school tracks — remains high.
The hiring drive also reflects the Department of Education’s ongoing effort to address classroom shortages and ensure that every student in Lucena City has access to quality education.
How to Apply
Applicants are encouraged to monitor the SDO Lucena City DepEd website and its official Facebook page for the latest announcements, including cut-off dates and specific requirements. The application process typically involves submission of documents, evaluation based on the DepEd hiring guidelines, and ranking based on qualifications and experience.
Earlier this year, the division also conducted programs from February 2 to 4, 2026, bringing together master teachers, school heads, and education supervisors — a sign of the division’s active push for professional development and organizational improvement.
