In accordance to Basic Education Curriculum (RA 10533), Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao Curriculum, the standard of functional literacy is to acquire the skill of decisiveness to act with responsibility for the good of everyone. This means that EsP aims to develop and master the ethical beings of the learners.
