Right to Quality Education (Sec. 1 & 2, Art. XIV)

Education may refer to the process of training the physical, mental, and/or moral faculties of an individual. It may be acquired through formal course of instruction offered by institutions or informally through means outside the formal school system.

The right to education is a basic right to capacitate the citizens to liberate themselves from poverty and want. Under the new constitution, the guaranty is not just to the right to education but to the right to quality education at all levels, both public and private.
