FOREWORD

The 2008 Philippine Standard Classification of Education (PSCEd) is the third inter-
agency collaboration between and among partners in the Philippine Statistical
System (PSS) geared towards the improvement of the education sector. The first
standard classification ever developed in the Philippines was published in 1994,
while an updated PSCEd was disseminated to users in 1997.

The PSCEd was developed to facilitate the compilation of the country’s education
statistics as basis for educational planning, manpower training, labor market studies
and other related activities. Patterned after the International Standard Classification
of Education (ISCEd) produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the PSCEd provides for national and international
comparability of education statistics.

The PSCEd presents a detailed classification of all educational levels in the


Philippine educational system. It is useful to those responsible in compiling statistics
on education, either from administrative records or from censuses and surveys. It
also serves as a guide to various users, particularly those in the academe and those
involved in job placement and recruitment services.

The preparation of PSCEd has been made possible with the gargantuan tasks
accomplished by the Technical Working Group on Education Classification
(TWGEC) under the Technical Committee on Statistical Standards and
Classifications (TCSSC). Likewise, we wish to express our deep appreciation for the
support and cooperation extended by experts from Higher Education Institutions
(HEIs) who unselfishly shared their knowledge and experience during the
consultation meeting held to review educational programs and courses.

The PSCEd has been revised to take into account the requirements of the three key
players in the education sector - the Department of Education (DepEd), Commission
on Higher Education (CHED), and the Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA).

Pursuant to NSCB Resolution No. 8, Series of 2008, all concerned government


offices, agencies and instrumentalities are hereby enjoined to adopt and use the 2008
Philippine Standard Classification of Education (PSCEd) effective immediately.

Chairman, National Statistical Coordination Board
MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. ________

TO: All Agencies of the National and Local Government, Government-


Owned and/or Controlled Corporations Involved in the Statistical
Activities of the Government

SUBJECT: Guidelines for the Implementation of the 2008 Philippine Standard


Classification of Education (PSCEd)

Pursuant to NSCB Resolution No. 8, Series of 2008 approved on the 10th day
of September 2008 entitled, “Approving and Adopting the 2008 Philippine Standard
Classification of Education (PSCEd)”, the following guidelines are hereby issued:

1. Adoption and Use of the 2008 PSCEd

The 2008 Philippine Standard Classification of Education (PSCEd) is a


detailed classification of all educational levels in the Philippine educational
system. It is a tool designed to standardize and facilitate the compilation of the
country’s education statistics as basis for educational planning, manpower
training, labor market studies, and other related activities.

To promote better understanding and cooperation among users of education


data, all concerned government agencies, offices and instrumentalities are
hereby enjoined to adopt and use the 2008 PSCEd.

2. Concepts and Definitions

For purposes of the 2008 PSCEd, the following selected terms shall be
adopted:

Adult Education - the entire body of organized educational processes,


whatever the content, level and method, whether formal or otherwise, whether
they prolong or replace initial education in schools, colleges and universities
as well as in apprenticeship, whereby persons regarded as adults by the society
to which they belong, improve their technical or professional qualifications,
further develop their abilities, and enrich their knowledge with the purpose: (a)
to complete a level of formal education; (b) to acquire knowledge and skills in
a new field; and (c) to refresh or update their knowledge in a particular field.

Alternative Learning System (ALS) - a parallel learning system aimed to


provide a viable alternative to the existing formal educational instruction. It
encompasses both the informal and non-formal sources of knowledge and
skills.
Distance Education/Learning - a method of learning and teaching which
employs print, radio, television, computer-based communications, satellite
broadcasting, teleconferencing or other educational technologies which allows
students to study on their own without having to regularly attend classes in
conventional classrooms.

Double Degree - a program wherein students simultaneously complete two


undergraduate degree programs.

Education - comprises all organized and sustained communication process


designed to bring about learning.

Formal Education - the systematic and deliberate process of hierarchically


structured and sequential learning corresponding to the general concept of
elementary and secondary level of schooling. At the end of each level, the
learner needs a certification in order to enter or advance to the next level.

Non-Formal Education - any organized, systematic educational activity


carried outside the framework of the formal system to provide selected types
of learning to a segment of the population.

Special Needs Education - the education of children and youth with special
needs corresponding to elementary and secondary education that require
modifications of school practices, curricula, programs, special services and
facilities. These include children and youth who are gifted/talented, fast
learners and those with disabilities.

3. Rules in Classification

Under the 2008 PSCEd, Levels 0 to 2, and 5 to 6 are confined to formal


education, while Level 4 to non-formal education. Level 4 includes courses
previously classified under Levels 5 and 9 in the 1997 ISCEd. Level 3, which
refers to (upper) secondary education, or second stage of basic education under
the international setting was not included in the 2008 PSCEd since it is not
applicable to the Philippine educational system. Level 8 is a reserve code in case
when additional category is to be inserted or existing category is to be amended
without necessarily upsetting the system. Level 9 which was reserved for the
educational programs that could not be allocated to any other level has been
eliminated. It is assumed that all educational programs can be classified in the
various levels.

The 2008 PSCEd publication is divided into three parts. Part I contains the
definition/description of educational levels, broad groups, fields and programs.
Part II contains the coding scheme used for the different educational levels,
broad groups, fields, programs and courses. Presented under this section is the
list of educational courses and their corresponding codes - classified according to
levels, broad groups, fields and programs. Part III contains the alphabetic index.
For purposes of classifying and/or gathering data on the educational
attainment of the population, the following rules shall be followed:

 Enrollees/Graduates of pre-primary/pre-school education, i.e., nursery,


kindergarten and preparatory are classified under Level 0

 Enrollees/Graduates of primary/elementary education, i.e., Grades I to


VII are classified under Level 1

 Enrollees/Graduates of secondary/high school education, i.e., First Year


to Fourth Year High School are classified under Level 2

 Enrollees/Graduates of 3-month to 3-year technical-vocational education


courses are classified under Level 4

 Enrollees/Graduates of baccalaureate courses are classified under Level 5

 Enrollees/Graduates of post-graduate courses are classified under Level 6

For enrollees/graduates of more than one course, the following rules shall be
adopted:

 If the degrees are of the same level, the course which the individual is
actually practicing or is engaged in should be the one to be reported.
On the other hand, if the individual practices both courses (which are
of the same level) at the same time, the course where he/she spends
more time should be the one to be reported.

 If the degrees are of different levels, whichever is higher should be the


one to be reported.

This memorandum circular shall take effect immediately. Henceforth, all other
education classification systems adopted by concerned agencies are deemed
superseded.

2008 PHILIPPINE STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF
EDUCATION (PSCED)

I. BACKGROUND

The 2008 Philippine Standard Classification of Education (PSCEd) is a detailed


classification of all educational levels in the Philippine educational system. It
aims to integrate the different coding schemes being used by various government
agencies, education and research institutions, and international organizations. The
Department of Education (DepEd), for instance, has a coding system for the
classification of technical-vocational and higher education programs/courses
being offered in Philippine colleges and universities. The National Statistics
Office (NSO), on the other hand, has been utilizing a coding system for
educational courses in processing the Integrated Survey of Households (ISH) and
the Census of Population and Housing (CPH).

The PSCEd has been patterned after the International Standard Classification of
Education (ISCEd) produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for the purpose of assembling, compiling, and
presenting education statistics, both nationally and internationally.

In view of the many changes that have taken place in the educational systems
since the 1997 ISCEd revision, there is a growing clamor to address various
problems in terms of implementation and other concerns.

In drafting the 2008 PSCEd, the following activities were undertaken:

 Creation of the Technical Working Group on Education Classification


(TWGEC) chaired by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED),
with member agencies from the Department of Education (DepEd),
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA),
Science Education Institute (SEI), Bureau of Local Employment (BLE),
and National Statistics Office (NSO). The National Statistical
Coordination Board (NSCB) serves as the Secretariat responsible for
technical coordination as well as overall planning and management of
activities of the TWG;

 Identification of new/emerging and obsolete educational programs and


courses through internet, newspapers and other reference documents;

 Definition/Description of educational levels, fields and programs;

 Revision of coding scheme adopted for the different levels and fields of
education;
 Development of a correspondence table to indicate the old codes of
educational programs and courses used in the 1997 PSCEd;

 Discussion/Review of educational programs and courses by level of


education with concerned agencies as lead: (a) Levels 4 and 9 - TESDA;
and (b) Levels 5 and 6 - CHED;

 Consultation with experts from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), i.e.,


public and private university registrars, to elicit comments/suggestions on
the revised list of educational programs and courses;

 Presentation of the final draft 2008 PSCEd for approval of the NSCB
Executive Board;

 Issuance of NSCB Resolution No. 8, Series of 2008 approving and


adopting the 2008 PSCEd;

 Preparation of the 2008 PSCEd publication;

 Conduct of information dissemination and advocacy work on the


utilization of 2008 PSCEd through press release; and

 Development of PSCEd database in the NSCB website.

The publication is divided into three parts. Part I contains the


definition/description of educational levels, broad groups, fields and programs.
Part II contains the coding scheme used for the different educational levels, broad
groups, fields, programs and courses. Presented under this section is the list of
educational courses and their corresponding codes - classified according to levels,
broad groups, fields and programs. Part III contains the alphabetic index.

The definition/description of educational levels, broad groups, fields and


programs was still based on the 1976 ISCEd. It seemed that UNESCO did not
prepare a more detailed document containing program/course description. In
response to the request for unabridged publication, only an operational manual
was instead sent to NSCB as complimentary copy.

II. GOALS

1. To provide the basic conceptual framework for the collection,


compilation and presentation of statistics in the Philippine educational
system;

2. To promote better understanding and cooperation, both within the


international and national educational communities; and
3. To contribute to the improvement in the generation of quality education
statistics.

III. GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The following guidelines were adhered to in the development of the 2008


PSCEd:

1. The 1997 International Standard Classification of Education (ISCEd) was


adopted as the basic reference document. Modifications, however, were
made to suit domestic/local conditions and requirements.

2. As with ISCEd, the PSCEd categorizes educational programs by their


content along two main axes referred to as cross-classification variables:
levels and fields of education.

3. In the classification of educational levels, their popular names shall be


indicated (the first term refers to Philippine setting/new concept being
adopted, while the second term refers to international/old terminology
used) as follows:

Level 0 Pre-Primary/Pre-School
Level 1 Primary/Elementary
Level 2 Secondary/High School
Level 4 Post-Secondary Non-Tertiary/Technical-Vocational
Level 5 Tertiary, First Stage/Baccalaureate
Level 6 Tertiary, Second Stage/Post-Graduate

4. Renumbering of levels of education (1997 PSCEd vs 2008 PSCEd):

1997 PSCEd 2008 PSCEd

Non-Degree 5

Post-Secondary Non-Tertiary/ 4*
Technical-Vocational

Tertiary, First Stage/Baccalaureate 6 5

Tertiary, Second Stage/Post-Graduate 7 6

Not Elsewhere Classified 9

*Level 4 includes educational programs and courses previously classified


under Levels 5 and 9 in the 1997 PSCEd
5. Some modifications in the 2008 PSCEd broad structure:

 The levels of education were reduced from 7 to 6:

1997 PSCEd 2008 PSCEd

0 Pre-School 0 Pre-Primary
1 Elementary 1 Primary
2 High School 2 Secondary
4 Post-Secondary
Non-Tertiary
5 Non-Degree
6 Baccalaureate 5 Tertiary, First Stage
7 Post-Graduate 6 Tertiary, Second Stage
9 Not Elsewhere
Classified

 A new level, Level 4, has been introduced to cover educational


programs and courses which straddle the boundary between upper
secondary and tertiary education

 Tertiary education now comprises only two levels, Levels 5 and 6,


instead of the previous three, Levels 5 to 7

 Level 9 which was reserved for the educational programs that


could not be allocated to any other level has been eliminated. It is
assumed that all educational programs can be classified in the
various levels.

 The fields of education were increased to cover 25 categories


compared to 21 in the 1997 PSCEd (including 9 broad groups
introduced in the 2008 PSCEd):

1997 PSCEd 2008 PSCEd

 Broad group, an innovation made to eliminate overlapping by
grouping together fields of education having similarities:

0 General
1 Education
2 Humanities and Arts
3 Social Sciences, Business and Law
4 Science
5 Engineering, Manufacturing and Construction
6 Agriculture
7 Health and Welfare
8 Services

The 2-digit code assigned to a broad group shall consist of the


following: the first digit refers to a level of education (for third
level only - Level 4, 5 or 6), while the second digit refers to any
of the single-digit code associated with the particular group of
related fields.

6. The 2008 PSCEd is a five-stage classification system providing


successive subdivisions from level to broad group to field to program to
course:

 The level, represented by a 1-digit code, and is defined as a stage


that denotes the steps of educational progression, e.g., tertiary.

 The broad group, represented by a 2-digit code, and is defined


as an innovation made to eliminate overlapping by grouping
together fields of education having similarities, e.g., Health and
Welfare.

 The field, represented by a 3-digit code, and is defined as an


aggregation of program groups that are related in terms of level
and major subject-matter or area, e.g., Health Programs.

 The program, represented by a 5-digit code, and is defined as a


selection of one or more courses, e.g., Programs in Nursing.

 The course, represented by a 7-digit code, and is defined as a


planned series of learning experiences in a particular range of
subject-matter or skills, e.g., Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

7. Changes made in educational courses (1997 PSCEd vs 2008 PSCEd):


New/Emerging refer to courses that are not found in the 1997
PSCEd

Deleted/Phased out refer to obsolete courses that are no longer offered


by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)

Merged/Renamed refer to similar courses that are being offered by


different schools using different titles which are
combined in one program/course

8. To guide users and others stakeholders in the utilization of the 2008


PSCEd, a correspondence table was developed to indicate the old codes
of educational programs and courses used in the 1997 PSCEd.

IV. CODING SCHEME

The coding scheme of the 2008 PSCEd is similar to that of the 1997 ISCEd, with
the 1-digit code representing the level, the 2-digit code representing the broad
group, the 3-digit code representing the field, and the 5-digit code representing
the program. The Philippine education classification system conforms to
international standard (i.e.,1997 ISCEd), and is comparable across countries up to
5-digit code (program) only. The 2008 PSCEd coding system, however, has been
extended to 7-digit code representing the particular course.

To illustrate the revised coding scheme, the course - Bachelor of Science in


Nursing coded 5721201, is taken as an example. Its hierarchical structure is as
follows:

5 7 2 1 2 0 1

Level - First Stage of Tertiary/Baccalaureate


Education (5)

Broad Group - Health and Welfare (57)

Field - Health Programs (572)

Program - Programs in Nursing (57212)

Course - Bachelor of Science in Nursing (5721201)

The first digit (5) represents the level, First Stage of Tertiary/Baccalaureate
Education. The first two digits (57) represent the broad group, Health and
Welfare. The first digit (5) and the next two digits (72) taken together, represent
the subject-matter field (572), Health Programs. The first three digits (572) and
the next two digits (12) taken together, represent the program (57212), a
selection of one or more courses under the Programs in Nursing. The first five
digits (57212) and the last two digits (01) altogether, represent the particular
course (5721201), Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

NSCB Resolution No. 8
Series of 2008

APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE 2008 PHILIPPINE


STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF EDUCATION (PSCED)

WHEREAS, the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) is the


highest policymaking and coordinating body on all statistical matters in the
Philippines;

WHEREAS, the NSCB is mandated to develop and prescribe uniform


standards and classification systems in the generation of official statistics to ensure
comparability and consistency across national and international boundaries;

WHEREAS, a standard educational classification is necessary to facilitate the


compilation of the country’s education statistics as basis for educational planning,
manpower training, labor market studies, and other related activities;

WHEREAS, the NSCB, through the Technical Committee on Statistical


Standards and Classifications (TCSSC), developed the Philippine Standard
Classification of Education (PSCEd) in 1994;

WHEREAS, the PSCEd is patterned after the International Standard


Classification of Education (ISCEd) developed by the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO);

WHEREAS, the 1994 PSCEd (based on the 1976 ISCEd) was approved and
prescribed for adoption by the NSCB Executive Board through Resolution No. 4,
Series of 1994, while an updated PSCEd (still based on the 1976 ISCEd) was
published in October 1997;

WHEREAS, the UNESCO revised the ISCEd in 1997 to take into account the
changes in general terminology, definitions, renumbering of levels, new rules and
criteria for the allocation of programs to levels, and new specifications in the
classification list;

WHEREAS, there is a need to revise the existing PSCEd to conform with the
revised international standard classification, i.e., 1997 ISCEd, but with modifications
to suit domestic/local conditions and requirements;

WHEREAS, the NSCB Technical Staff, in coordination with the TCSSC and
its Technical Working Group on Education Classification (TWGEC), has prepared the
revisions to the PSCEd done in accordance with the approved Policy on the Revision
and Amendment of the Philippine Standard Classification Systems, and is
recommending the same for approval of the NSCB Executive Board;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS IT IS HEREBY
RESOLVED, that the NSCB Executive Board approve the 2008 PSCEd (based on
the 1997 ISCEd) for adoption and use by all concerned government offices, agencies
and instrumentalities.

Approved this 10th day of September 2008 in Pasig City.
