Legal Bases of Education

1. Why is education a function of the state?

Education equips students and young adults with the skills, knowledge, and values they need to
become caring, self-sufficient, productive, and patriotic citizens. Primary education is free and
compulsory for children, according to the law. The first purpose of education is to have
knowledge of things and information in the present and in the future. It serves as the mechanism
that shapes a person's thoughts, feelings and interactions. It is also the cause of the good and
beautiful events in our world and the environment. Every child should be granted the right to an
education because a high-quality education is a prerequisite for a society's transition to a
prosperous economy. Who knows, maybe one day the child you're helping will become the
president of the Philippines. As one proverb puts it, "the youth is the country's hope."

REACTION PAPER #3

Explain the acts constitute the legal bases of education in the Philippines. What are
the legal rights of the students?
Everyone values education, but not everyone has the opportunity to complete their studies and
obtain a diploma. Education is the means by which the Filipino obtains knowledge. They believe
that schools are the primary sources of knowledge, despite the fact that education may be
received both inside and outside of the classroom. As a result, when it comes to education, the
government is always there to set a legislation to ensure that it is effective for everybody. The
management of the school system is entrusted to the CHED, DepEd, and TESDA. The
administration may have understood that required actions must be done to strengthen the
country's education system, prompting them to create and contemplate adjustments in order to
keep up with other countries, since we have already fallen behind. By enlisting the assistance of
these agencies, the government strengthens the cornerstone of our educational system, ensuring
that everyone receives a dual, adequate, and suitable education. The legal rights of the students
are: First, the right to receive competent instruction, relevant quality education. Second, the right
to freely choose their field of study subject to the existing curricula and continue their course up
to graduation, except in cases of academic deficiency or violations of disciplinary regulations.
Third, The right to school guidance and counselling services. Fourth, the right to access to his
owns school records and the confidentiality of it. Fifth, The right to issuance of official
certificates, diplomas, transcript of records, grades, transfer credentials and similar document
within thirty days from request. Sixth, the right to publish a student newspaper and invite
resource persons during symposia, assemblies and other activities. Seventh, The right to free
expression of opinions and suggestions and to effective channels of communication with
appropriate academic and administrative bodies of the school or institutions. Eight, the right to
form or establish, join and participate in organizations and societies recognized by the school…,
or to form, join and maintain organizations and societies for purposes not contrary to law. Ninth,
the right to be free from involuntary contributions except those approved by their organizations
