Role of Teachers: Teachers play a crucial role in nation-building, developing holistic learners with values and 21st-century skills. Quality teaching is vital for student achievement.
Professional Standards: The Philippine government has pursued teacher quality reforms through initiatives, including the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS).
K-12 Reform: The K-12 reform (RA 10533) in 2013 significantly impacted teacher quality requirements.
Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST): Built on NCBTS, the PPST complements reform initiatives on teacher quality from pre-service to in-service training, articulating teacher quality in domains like content knowledge, learning environments, and diversity of learners.
