 Legal Basis of Multigrade
Program in the Philippines
RA 9155 “Governance of basic Education Act of 2001
1987 Philippine Constitution
Education For All 2015

The Multigrade (MG) Program was formally introduced

to the public school system through DECS Order No. 38,
s. 1993 entitled, “Improving Access to Elementary
Education by Providing Complete Grade Levels in All
Public Elementary Schools through Combination and/or
Multigrade Classes.”

The MG Program supports the strategic

direction of the Department to expand access to
and improve the quality of elementary education
by constructing schools in school-less
Barangays in far-flung, isolated and
underserved communities.

Enrollment in these areas does not warrant the

organization of monograde classes because of
the small number of enrollees. It is through the
multigrade schools that the Government is able
to respond to the basic need of providing
educational opportunities for all regardless of
life’s circumstances.

The MG Program follows the K to 12 Curriculum

Framework. However, it requires flexibility in
terms of its delivery in the multigrade classroom
since the curriculum was designed for
monograde teaching. The strategy to deliver the
curriculum in multigrade classes therefore
differs to be able to meet diverse learning needs
of multigrade learners.
