EXPLANATORY NOTE

Article XIV, Section 2 (1) of the 1987 Constitution mandates that the State shall:
“Establish, maintain and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education
relevant to the needs of the people and society”.

Schools division offices are the primary support structure in school operations and
exercising direct administrative supervision over schools, aligns their functions and activities
towards addressing the urgent problems at the school level. Accordingly the division’s academic
personnel, specifically the division supervisors shall be assigned to meet the technical manpower
requirements for performing such problem-oriented functions and activities.

Thus, this bill acknowledges the part of the local government in bringing quality
education while serving as a channel between the residents and the national education
departments in the City of Tagaytay.

A separate schools division in Tagaytay City would endow the City Government to
deliver and develop higher value of education catered to the general public. Furthermore, the
enactment of this measure will aid in the attainment of the desired goal of quality education.

In view of the abovementioned, approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
