OUR MANDATE 
The  Department  of  Education was established through the Education Decree of 1863 as 
the  Superior  Commission  of  Primary  Instruction  under  a  Chairman.  The  Education 
agency  underwent  many  reorganization  efforts  in  the  20th  century  in  order  to  better 
define  its  purpose  vis  a  vis  the  changing  administrations  and  charters. The present day 
Department  of  Education  was  eventually  mandated  through  Republic  Act  9155, 
otherwise  known  as  the  Governance  of  Basic  Education  act  of  2001  which  establishes 
the mandate of this agency. 
The  Department  of  Education  (DepEd)  formulates,  implements,  and  coordinates 
policies,  plans,  programs  and  projects  in  the  areas  of  formal  and  non-formal  basic 
education.  It  supervises  all  elementary  and  secondary  education  institutions,  including 
alternative  learning systems, both public and private; and provides for the establishment 
and  maintenance  of  a  complete,  adequate,  and  integrated  system  of  basic  education 
relevant to the goals of national development. 

Service  Pledge:  The  Department  of  Education  is  committed  to  providing  learners  with 
quality basic education that is accessible, inclusive, and liberating through:  

● Proactive leadership
