legal basis of education in the Philippines. One of the main acts is the 1987
constitutions article VIV section 1-5 in which the state shall protect and promote
the right of all citizens to quality of education at all levels and shall take
appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.
The other two major legal basis are the 1935 constitution article XIV

have the same purpose and it is to provide free and quality education to all and
create a bright future.
