Amendments to the Education Provisions of the Local Government Code

This seeks to amend the education provisions of the Local Government Code of 1991, including: mandating the broader and better use of the Special Education Fund; reorienting the roles of the LGUs in the local management and quality assurance of basic education; and changing the composition of the Local School Board, which shall be renamed Local Basic Education Board, to promote greater roles, synchrony and check-and-balance among local stakeholders, thus following the constitutional priority accorded to basic education.
