Which Republic Act number codifies the Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001?

• A. RA 9155
• B. RA 10157
• C. RA 10533
• D. RA 10647

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is naming the law that sets up how basic education is governed in the Philippines. Republic Act 9155, enacted in 2001, codifies the governance of basic education. It reorganizes the department responsible for elementary and secondary education, clarifying the national, regional, division, and school-level governance structures and policy direction for basic education. That makes it the law that establishes how basic education is run and supervised. The other acts address different areas: one focuses on mandatory kindergarten, another on expanding and reforming the curriculum under the K-12 system, and the remaining on related educational changes. They relate to components or reforms of basic education, but they do not establish the overarching governance framework that RA 9155 does.
