The Department of Education's Vision, Mission, and Core Values (VMV) statements serve as guiding principles in its unwavering thrust to provide quality education that cultivates passion for the country that is anchored on a set of core values.

The Mission outlines what we ought to do and how the different actors are to behave to bring us closer to the Vision.

The core values that ground us are Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa.

The Department's VMV is one document and should be read in its entirety to grasp the full meaning. It is a living document that is meant to reinvigorate our Agency and society as a whole. It is meant to permeate and to affect the way we behave and how we find solutions to complex issues. It is meant to be part of public discourse and personal transformation. It is not static and not intended for mere posting on walls and tables.
