Our Mandate

The Department of Education was established through the Education Decree of 1863 as the Superior Commission of Primary Instruction under a Chairman. The Education agency underwent many reorganization efforts in the 20th century in order to better define its purpose vis a vis the changing administrations and charters. The present day Department of Education was eventually mandated through Republic Act 9155, otherwise known as the Governance of Basic Education act of 2001 which establishes the mandate of this agency. 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.

Happy World Teachers’ Day!

Today, we proudly stand in solidarity with the international community as we celebrate the invaluable contributions of our educators. This milestone year centers on the global theme: “Standing with teachers: 60 years of protecting the profession, advancing its status and shaping our futures”. It serves as a profound reminder that supporting our teachers is paramount to building a resilient nation.

To our beloved Bicolano teachers, your dedication shines as a beacon of hope across the peninsula. Like the resilient pili tree that thrives in the volcanic lands of Bicol and the sili plant that grows amidst the elements, you possess an unbreakable spirit that turns challenges into opportunities for our learners. Whether you are teaching in the coastal schools of Catanduanes, the remote communities of Masbate, or the bustling classrooms of Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Sorsogon, your passion never wavers. You will always be what our theme of what "G**o, Tanglaw ng Kinabukasan" means.

You do not merely teach lessons; you shape the future of the Bicol Region with unmatched grace, patience, kaya Dios Mabalos na maray saindo gabos!

Thank you for your tireless service, your creativity, and your profound love for our youth. DepEd Region V stands firmly with you today and always.

Mabuhay ang mga g**ong Bicolano! Mabuhay ang g**ong Pilipino!
