Publisher's Synopsis
Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: 1.00, University of the Philippines (College of Education), course: Educational Administration, language: English, abstract: Major education surveys and missions have labeled Philippine education as problematic from the period of 1925 to 2000. One of the major findings from these reports was the excessive centralization of the Philippine education. On the positive side, as time has passed, people have become more receptive to new policy ideas. Republic Act (RA) 9155, or the Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001, has helped the Department of Education (DepEd) reach its present "improved" status. In this paper, the said Act is examined using the Bardach and Patashnik model (2016). The majority of the references written before the passage of the law were studied to look into the history of problems and events that influenced the drafting of the law. The Bardach and Patashnik model involves the analysis of eight stages of policy cycle. Each part will be explained in the succeeding paragraphs.
