To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education where: Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment. Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner. Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to happen. Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for developing life-long learners.
We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values and competencies enable them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to building the nation. As a learner-centered public institution, the Department of Education continuously improves itself to better serve its stakeholders.
A queen crowned in timeless majesty
Waving the banner of immortal grace
Sealed by its holy legend
We light the torch of our valiant race
Hearts are gold, hands unfold
Offering faith and praise
The lake of love overflows
Wind of peace gently blows
The soil blest by the spirits
Sets roots that yield fruits of labour
Hearts are gold, hands behold
Bestowing pride and honour
Raise your might in the mountains high
Claim the sun in your wondrous sky
Touch the beauty in every mind
Bring God’s glory to all mankind
In the land of the great you soar
Sta. Marcela Forevermore
