Department of Education

The Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines manages the country's public education system, addressing challenges such as classroom shortages, infrastructure damage from natural disasters, and the need for improved learning facilities in remote areas. Recent initiatives include declaring wellness breaks for students and teachers, collaborating with government agencies to build new classrooms, and expanding internet access in schools. DepEd also focuses on alternative learning programs and improving health and safety measures in schools nationwide.
