Abstract	This study assessed the level of awareness of public elementary school teachers in the Luna District, Apayao, regarding the Expanded Career Progression System (ECPS) for School Year 2024–2025. The ECPS is a competency-based promotion framework introduced by the Department of Education to provide structured, merit-based career advancement opportunities for teachers. The study specifically examined the teachers’ awareness of the system’s components—Career Teaching Line, Mode of Promotion, and Qualification Standards. A descriptive-correlational and comparative research design was employed. A total of 53 permanent teachers from 17 public elementary schools in the Luna District participated in the study. Research instruments were used to gather data on teachers’ demographic profiles, awareness, and preparedness. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and one-way ANOVA were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that teachers were generally aware of the ECPS, with the highest awareness found in qualification standards.
