[Trigger Warning: suicide] A total of 404 young students in various parts of the country took their own lives and 2,147 others attempted suicide during Academic Year 2021-2022 when most schools were still shuttered because of the pandemic. | MRamosINQ
“One life [lost] is one too many. This should not be happening in our schools. It’s even more alarming since based on the information from the experts, this number continues to grow and is made worse by the pandemic,” he said.
DepEd did not provide comparative figures from previous school years but Gatchalian cited a 2021 study by the University of the Philippines Population Institute which showed that 20 percent of young Filipinos had considered suicide.That means as many as 5 million young Filipinos may have thought of ending their lives, the senator said.
In response to the apparent mental health crisis among students, DepEd is eyeing higher salaries for guidance counselors. A Guidance Counselor I currently receives the same monthly pay of P27,000 as entry-level teachers under Salary Grade 11. A Guidance Counselor II receives P29,165 under SG 12 while a Guidance Counselor III receives P31,320 under SG 13.
