EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to establish the Cavite City National Science High School 
in the Province of Cavite to provide equitable access to quality education, in the 
field of applied sciences and technology, for Filipino students. It shall be under 
the supervision of the Department of Education which shall be funded annually. 
In the 2018 Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA), the 
Philippines ranked as the second-lowest in terms of Science and Mathematics 
from the 79 participating countries. Moreover, based on the data from the 2022 
PISA, which covered 690,000 students from 81 countries, our standing in three 
subjects — Reading, Math, and Science were about the same as in 2018.1 Such 
results mirror one of the educational crises that our country is currently 
experiencing. 
1 In 2018, the Philippines scored the lowest in Reading (340) and second lowest in Math (353) and Science (357). 
For 2022, the country scored 347 in Reading, 355 in Math, and 356 in Science.

As such, the importance of science and mathematics, among many 
subjects, must be emphasized in developing future leaders in such fields. The 
establishment of the Cavite City National Science High School shall be an 
additional asset in fostering critical thinking, innovation, and a passion for 
scientific endeavors that shall contribute in nation-building. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly 
sought.
