    1987 REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION

    The 1987 Philippine Constitution lays down the foundation of the Philippine
    education system and protects the right of all citizens to quality education
    at all levels. Article XIV of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides the
    general framework for education in the country. It shows how the state
    recognizes the importance of education, science and technology, cultural
    development, and sports and wellness in the life of the state and of the
    people. Article XIV embodies the utopian and economic goal for education
    in the Philippines.

    Section 1 presents the enduring commitment of the Philippines to provide


    quality education to all its citizens-a commitment to build a nation with
    functionally literate, educated, and productive citizens. It is a statement
    that shows how the country values the education and development of
    its citizens.

    Section 2 discusses the commitment of the state to provide access to


    quality education to all- levels, from preschool to tertiary. It elucidates the
    function of the state to develop an education system that focuses on formal
    education, non-formal education, alternative learning system, and
    indigenous learning system. To support this provision, Section 2 states
    that the state will provide financial assistance and efficient
    student-support system to deserving students.
    Section 3 provides a framework for enduring values, knowledge, and
    skills that need to be emphasized in all the contents of the curriculum.

    Section 4 provides guidelines in the establishment and management of


    educational institutions in the country. It emphasizes that all
    educational institutions, other than those established by religious groups
    and mission boards, shall be owned solely by the citizens of the
    Philippines, or in the case of corporations and associations, at least a
    majority of the shares (60%) should be owned by Filipino citizens.

    Section 5 reiterates the need to consider regional and sectoral needs and
    conditions in the planning and development of educational policies. It
    enshrines the spirit of academic freedom for tertiary education, the
    right of citizens to choose their profession or field of study, the right of
    teachers and school personnel to professional advancement and putting
    the highest budgetary support to education.

    Sections 6 to 9 focus on the development and promotion of Filipino


    as the national language and as medium of instruction. These
    sections also recognize the importance of other local and foreign
    languages.

    Sections 10 to 13 focus on the importance and promotion of science


    and technology in the Philippines. It reiterates the importance of
    developing a culture of science and innovation among the Filipino
    people.

    culture, which includes various cultural practices, traditions, beliefs,
    and indigenous knowledge of the different cultural groups and regions
    in the country.

    sports programs for the well-being of the Filipino people.
