Republic Act 7836
The government has long recognized the vital role of teachers in the development of the
nation. However, it was only when then President Ferdinand E. Marcos issued Presidential
Decree 1006 on September 22, 1976 when the National Board for Teachers was formally
organized. This was the first board to supervise the teaching profession in the country. All
teachers back then have to take the Professional Board Exam for Teachers (PBET).
On December 16, 1994, through the enactment of Republic Act 7836, a law entitled "An Act to
Strengthen the Regulation and Supervision of the Practice of Teaching in the
Philippines and Prescribing a Licensure Examination for Teachers and for Other
Purposes, otherwise known as the "Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994,"
dictated that regulation and licensing of teachers was transferred to the jurisdiction of the
Professional Regulations Commission (PRC). This made the teaching profession or teachers
equal or at par with other professionals such as medical doctors, engineers, lawyers, and
nurses, among others. R.A. 7836 also includes the supervision and regulation of
the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). It covers all teachers in all levels of
education, from preschool to secondary, whether part-time or full-time.

Republic Act 7836
Article I provides the statement of policy, objectives, and definitions of important terms used
in the law.
Article II discuss the composition and functions of the board for professional teachers. It also
includes necessary qualifications of the members of the board
Article III explains the examination and registration rules and procedures. It provides
information on the following areas: Scope of Examination, Qualification Requirements of
Applicants, Report of the Results of the Examination, Issuance of Certificate of Registration and
Professional Licensee, Oath Before Practice, Periodic Merit Examination of Teachers, Failure to
Pass the Merit Examination, Incentives for Passing the LET, Integration of the Teaching
Profession, Revocation of the Certificate of Registration, Suspension from the Practice of the
Teaching Profession, and Cancellation of Temporary or Special Permit, Registration Procedures.
This Law recognizes the vital contributions of teachers in nation building and development.
Teachers are responsible for the development of good and literate citizens. It is the role of the
state to ensure quality education among all its citizens by professionalizing the
practice of the teaching profession in the whole country

employment injuries which include the effects of physical and nervous strain on the teacher's health.
R.A. 4670 also provides opportunities for teachers to avail and enjoy study leave for those who wish to

provides indefinite leave for teachers who may be required to take long treatment for some serious
illness (Sec. 25). The law also stipulates that all public school teachers, having fulfilled the age and
service requirements of the applicable retirement laws, shall be given one-range salary raise upon
retirement, which shall be the basis of the computation of the lump sum of their retirement pay and
the monthly benefits thereafter (Section 26).

As professionals, teachers are free either to form an organization or to join any local, national,
or international organizations (Sec. 27). Their choice of organization may vary based on their
interests and specialization. Section 28 protects public school teachers from any form of
discrimination such as the following:
a. Make the employment of a teacher subject to the condition that he/she shall not join an
organization or shall relinquish membership in an organization.

an organization or because of participation in organization activities outside school hours, or

organization, or to penalize him/her for an action undertaken in that capacity
