Preschooleducation

The Constitution of the Philippines defines preschool education as compulsory, but this does not work at the local level. Parents decide for themselves whether to send their child to school or study at home. Education here is voluntary and conditionally free.

Schooleducation

All students in Philippine schools are called students. Even 4-5-year-olds who are just getting acquainted with education. Regardless of the age at which the child first came to school, he is determined in the initial introductory class. In general, general education in the Philippines is divided into primary school (6 years) and secondary school (until recently 4 years, and since 2011 also 6 years. Within the framework of one educational institution, there can be classes of both schools, both in Russia, and only primary school or only general education. The curriculum in public schools is calculated for exactly 200 days. The holidays last two months – April and May.

University

The higher education in the Philippines is offered through various degree programs (commonly known as courses in the Philippines) by a wide selection of colleges and universities—also known as higher education institutions (HEIs). These are administered and regulated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

HEIs are either classified as a college or a university, and either public or private, and also either secular or religious.

In the Philippines, college is a tertiary institution that typically offer a number of specialized courses in the sciences, liberal arts, or in specific professional areas, e. g. nursing, hotel and restaurant management and information technology.

Local universities have less stringent requirements than private HEIs. They are only required to operate at least five undergraduate programs—as opposed to eight for private universities—and two graduate-level programs.
