    • The Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) was established in 2022 through Republic Act (RA) No. 11899.
    • The commission was convened to address the education crisis in the Philippines, which was highlighted by the country's poor performance in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

    Education Crisis

    • The education crisis in the Philippines is a complex and long-standing issue that has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • The crisis is characterized by poor performance in international assessments, low education outcomes, and inadequate education infrastructure.

    Early Childhood Care and Development

    • The Philippines has one of the highest prevalence of under-5 stunting in the world, at 26.7%.
    • Nutrition-specific interventions in the Philippines are fragmented, have low coverage, and weak targeting.
    • Early childhood education is not equally accessible throughout the country, with only 36% of barangays having at least one child development center.
    • Most day care teachers and workers lack training in early childhood education and are aging.
    • The Commission on Higher Education's (CHED) undergraduate program in Early Childhood Education prepares graduates for 0-4 years old and Key Stage 1 learners, but only 3,993 ECE graduates have been produced since 2005.

    Basic Education

    • Despite improvements in enrollment rates, concerns persist about the quality of the education system.
    • The Human Capital Index estimates that a Filipino learner who starts school at 4 years old would have received 12.9 years of schooling by age 18, but this is equivalent to only 7.5 years of learning.
    • The National Achievement Test (NAT) for Grade 6 shows that students are nearly proficient in Filipino, but achieved low proficiency in Math, English, Araling Panlipunan, and Science.

    Governance and Finance

    • The education system in the Philippines struggles to meet the criteria of a "system" due to fragmented implementation of education programs and lack of coordination among agencies.
    • The Commission on Education (EDCOM) was established to address the education crisis, but it faces challenges in terms of coordination, resources, and accountability.
    • The education sector is plagued by inadequate funding, with a high proportion of the education budget allocated to personnel salaries and benefits.

    Higher Education

    • The Philippines has a low gross enrollment rate in tertiary education, with only 36.5% of the population aged 18-24 enrolled in higher education.
    • The quality of higher education in the Philippines is a concern, with many higher education institutions lacking the necessary resources and infrastructure.

    Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET)

    • The Philippines has a large number of out-of-school youth, with many opting for TVET programs instead of formal education.
    • The TVET sector is plagued by inadequate funding, lack of resources, and poor quality of training programs.
