Overview of the Department of Education
Overview of the Department of Education
Legal Basis
Educational Decree of 1863 (December 20, 1863), as amended, established the Department of
Education [Culture and Sports (DECS)] as the Superior Commission of Primary Instruction under a
Chairman.
Act No. 74 (January 21, 1901) transformed the Commission into the Department of Instruction under a
General Superintendent (until 1916), a Secretary (until 1944).
Executive Order No. 94 (October 1947), Reorganization Act of 1947, established the Department of
Education from the Commonwealth-renamed Department of Instruction.
Presidential Decree No. 1397 (June 2, 1978) transformed the Department of Education and Culture
established under Proclamation No. 1081 (s. 1972) into the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC)
which the Education Act of 1982 reorganized to Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports (MECS).
Executive Order No. 117 (January 30, 1987) reorganized the MECS into the Department of Education,
Culture and Sports (DECS).
Republic Act No. 7722 (May 18, 1994) and Republic Act No. 7796 (August 23,1994) created the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA), respectively, giving rise to a trifocalized education system which refocused DECS’
mandate to basic education covering pre-school, elementary and secondary, and non-formal education.
Republic Act No. 9155 (August 11, 2001), otherwise known as Governance of Basic Education Act of
2001, renamed the DECS to the Department of Education (DepED), redefined its role and that of its field
offices, and reiterated the goal of basic education.
Mandate
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.

attainment of DepEd’s organizational outcomes. Initial recommendation is for the NBDB to be attached to the Department of Trade and Industry
(DTI) since its mandate is to develop and promote the local publishing industry.
