EDUCATION, ESTABLISHING AUTHORITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY, RENAMING
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, CULTURE AND SPORTS AS THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES

Republic Act 9155 also known as the “Governance of Basic Education Act of
2001”, provides the overall framework for principal empowerment by strengthening
principal and leadership goals, and local school based management within the context
of transparency and local accountability.

There are different levels in the governance of basic education but it should start
in the national level. This is made for accessible education by providing all children with
free compulsory education in elementary and secondary level. Educational programs
are delivered by school heads and teachers that act as a team for projects and services.
Agencies of the government aim to meet the best requirements of the teaching
profession for uniqueness of working conditions and teaching service.
