III Topics and KEY Concepts

A. Presidential Decree 1006
Even after the independence of the Philippines from American rule in 1446 , the system
of education continued to follow the American system. Civil Service Examination for Teachers
continued to be a requirement for those who desired to teach in public schools until 1977
when Presidential Decree 1006 was proclaimed by the then President Ferdinand Marcos.
Presidential Decree 1006 ,is entitled “Providing for the Professionalization of Teachers ,
Regulating their Practice in the Philippines , otherwise known as the Decree Professionalizing
Teaching was proclaimed. With this presidential proclamation , teaching became
professionalized in the Philippines.
B. Republic Act 7836
In 1994, the Congressional Commission to Review and Assess Philippine

Education found out that “teachers are poorly trained;there is low quality of
students enrolled in teacher training; and teaching is perceived as a poorly steemed
profession. thus, Republic Act 7836 was enacted into law. This act created the
National Board of Teachers , a body which has a general supervision and
administrative control over the Licensure Examination for Teachers and which
crafted the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers.
In support further the move to get “ the best and brightes” for the teaching
profession, then President Gloraia Macapagal Arroyo, on June 6, 1994, signed into law
Republic Act 9293, ammending some pertinent provisions of RA 7836.
