The Department of Education (DepEd) will include Philippine Schools Overseas in its reform program for School Year 2026–2027.

The reforms include a three-term academic calendar, revised grading policies, and updates to the senior high school program.

“These reforms are interconnected to strengthen the education system,” Assistant Secretary Jerome Buenviaje said.

“We want to ensure schools are prepared for these changes,” Angara said.

DepEd said overseas schools will be given flexibility during the transition.

More than 25,000 Filipino learners in 10 countries are enrolled in Philippine Schools Overseas.
