ABSTRACT
Framing Educational Policy Problem:
A Comprehensive Analysis of Verification, Definition, and Detailing
This research delves into challenges in framing educational policy problem, specifically
examining the nuances of verification, definition, and detailing within the Philippine education system.
Complexities in identifying and defining issues hinder effective policymaking. The study investigates the
role of verification, explores methods for defining policy problems, analyzes stakeholder involvement,
and examines theoretical foundations in Philippine education policy framing. The findings offer insights
for evidence-based and contextually relevant interventions, particularly in the Philippines, providing
policymakers, educators, and researchers with practical recommendations for enhancing policy
effectiveness.

Structural-Functionalism
Kingsbury, N., & Scanzoni, J. (1993)
• Policies are not objective realities but socially constructed products influenced by
various actors and their interpretations.
• Social Construction: Policies are seen as socially constructed entities shaped by the
interactions, interpretations, and perspectives of individuals and groups involved in
the policy-making process.
• Subjectivity of Knowledge: Knowledge is subjective and context-dependent.
Different actors may interpret educational issues differently, leading to diverse
policy framings.
• Active Participation: Actors in the education system, including policymakers,
educators, and stakeholders, actively participate in shaping policies based on their
understanding, experiences, and social contexts.
