INTRODUCTION
The constitution expressly provides for the grant of basic services to the people. One of these is the grant of equal opportunities for education to all citizens, rich and poor. In other words of President Magsaysay, those who have less in life should have more in law. The need therefore for social justice has paved the way for legislations that address the inequities in all aspects of life, particularly in education. Designed to afford every citizen equal access to opportunities for growth, intellectual and otherwise, the Education Law is intended to meet the concerns of the educational system, both public and private in terms of the needed educational reforms and the modes of delivery of Philippines Education.

Formal education shall respond to the following levels:

1. First level of elementary education involves compulsory-formal education primarily concerned with providing basic education, and usually corresponds to traditional six-year term. 2. The second level of secondary education is concerned primarily with continuing basic education of the elementary level and expanding it to include the learning of employable gainful skills, usually corresponding to four years of high school.

3. The post-secondary technical-vocational education is primarily concerned with programs aimed at preparing technicians, paraprofessionals and other categories of middlelevel workers by providing them with a broad range of general education, theoretical, scientific and technological studies, and related jobs skills training.
