NATIONAL EDUCATORS’ ACADEMY OF THE PHILIPPINES (NEAP)

Professional Development Program to Support Career Progression of Teachers

The National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP), as it is presently configured, is the result of a progressive series of changes in its structure and position in the Department of Education. Figure 1 illustrates the development of the organizational structure of the original National Education Learning Center (NELC) from its inception under Letter of Instructions (LOI) No. 1487 in 1985 and its elaboration in 1987. LOI 1487 (1985) instructed the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports (MECS) to design a tiered training organization comprising:

NELC
  • a National Education Learning Center (NELC) located at Teachers’ Camp in Baguio City;
  • Regional Learning Resource Centers (RELCs) in each Region or sub-Region; and
  • Decentralized Learning Resource Centers at the Division, District and School levels.

The three components are shown in blue in Figure 1. LOI No. 1487 also stated that the “MECS may also constitute advisory boards for each center.” These are illustrated in orange to signify their optional status...

The organizational structure and governance of the RELCs were elaborated in DECS Order No. 30, s.1987. Following acknowledgment of the establishment of thirteen (13) RELCs, the Order elaborated the basic staff complement, which served as the Secretariat at each RELC, and stipulated the organization of a Program Committee at each RELC. The addition of a RELC Secretariat and RELC Program Committee are illustrated in green in Figure 1.
