This report responds to a request from Secretary Leonor M. Briones of the Department of Education (DepEd) that priority be given to a study focused on the transformation of the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP), thereby strengthening professional development provision to better support K to 12 initiatives, and the opportunities arising from the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) to enhance the system-wide quality of professional practice in education.

The research and the writing of this report have been undertaken by staff at the SiMERR National Research Centre (SiMERR) based at the University of New England, Australia and staff at the Philippine National Research Center for Teacher Quality (RCTQ) based at the Philippine Normal University.

THE TASK FORCE adopts recommendations within the National Educators Academy of the Philippines - Transformation Study Report to transform and upscale NEAP. Task Force members see the recommendations as an essential step to better meet the professional learning needs of classroom teachers and school leaders.

This Executive Summary gives a brief overview of the project on the examination of teacher practices in the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) using the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) as the benchmark.

The PSHS was established through Republic Act 3661 in 1963 to offer free scholarships in secondary education with a special curriculum to prepare its students for careers in science. By the later part of 1980, additional PSHS regional campuses were established across the country. In 1997, the PSHS Law (R.A. 8496), which unified all the existing campuses into a single system of governance was signed.
