 MODULE SUMMARY
PHILIPPINE TVET SYSTEM
The Philippine Education and Training System
The education system in the Philippines embraces formal and non-formal
education. It is closely related to the American mode of education but differs in the
number of school years as other countries have 12 years basic education. In the
country however, elementary education is composed of 6 years and secondary education
is 4 years which together with the tertiary education comprise the formal education
system.

The Congressional Commission on Education

The Congress enacted in 1990 Joint Resolution No. 2 creating the Congressional
Commission for Education or EDCOM to review and assess the education and manpower
training system of the country inclusive of formal and non-formal educational system in
both public and private.
The EDCOM concluded that the different levels/categories of education should be
managed separately so that the specific needs of each category can be identified and well
attended to for effective and efficient implementation. Thus, the trifocalization of the
management of the country’s educational system paved way for the following changes:

 Basic Education was subsequently changed to Department of Education (DepEd)
through the passage of RA 9155 or Governance of Basic Education Act on August 2001.

Technical-Vocational Education became the jurisdiction of Technical

Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) as legally mandated through
RA 7796 otherwise known as the TESDA Act which was signed into law on August 25,
1994; and

Higher Education involving tertiary education in community colleges, universities and

specialized colleges became the domain of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)
which was established through the enactment of RA 7722 or Higher Education Act on
May 18, 1994.
