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; and

• family, community and other stakeholders are actively engaged with shared responsibility for developing life-long learners. 

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.
