We dream of Filipinos

who passionately love their country

and whose values and competencies

enable them to realize their full potential

and contribute meaningfully to building the nation.

As a learner-centered public institution,

the Department of Education

continuously improves itself

to better serve its stakeholders.

To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education where:

• Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment.

• Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner.

• Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to happen.

• Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for developing life-long learners.
