The main objective of this study was to determine and analyze the Benefits provided by Public School X and Private School Y to its female teachers in terms of their (1) Salary and Wages, (2) Working Conditions, (3) Health Benefits, and (4) Retirement Benefits.
The descriptive method was used with fifteen participants from Public School X and fifteen participants from Private School Y. Data were gathered and analyzed using percentage and the Likert scale.
All or 100% of the teachers in Public School X said they were unsatisfied with the security measures adapted in their school. In Public school X there is at present no teachers’ lounge. Sixty-seven percent of the teachers in Private School Y receive lower than ₱1,000 for their Christmas bonus. Both Public School X and Private School Y are moderately satisfied with their working conditions and factors, which consisted of their salary, classroom size, ventilation, lighting, and cleanliness.
The researchers recommend that Public School X should construct a teachers’ lounge for the ease of the teachers’ work and increase and manage security measures. Private school Y should probably reevaluate their compensation system to increase their Christmas bonus and should see if they could increase the teachers’ compensation during summers and non-public holidays. It is also recommended that further research be carried out to expatiate deeper the basis of teacher benefits and the sufficiency of their compensation and benefits to their everyday needs.

Objectives and Topics
The primary objective of this research is to analyze and compare the benefits provided to female teachers in a public school versus a private school. The study seeks to investigate the adequacy of compensation packages, working conditions, health provisions, and retirement benefits to provide recommendations for institutional policy improvements.
- Comparison of monetary compensation and fringe benefits between public and private school teachers.
- Evaluation of working environment factors, including facilities, security, and teacher lounges.

Excerpt from the Book
Introduction
This paper analyzes and studies the level of benefits offered to female teachers in both Public School X and Private School Y. It offers a general comparison between a public and private sector teacher taking into account their salaries, paid leaves, and all other benefits provided to them.
Public school teachers are known for enjoying more paid leaves, less expensive health benefits and better pensions. This supposed fact points to the additional public personnel costs created by these advantages and addresses the role of benefits in the total compensation package. It also urges that total compensation comparability (pay and benefits) be more widely practiced by private jurisdictions.
As the cost of benefits have continued to escalate, and as they exceed 30 percent of total compensation costs in many jurisdictions, there is increasing concern about the level of benefits offered to public employees.
