4. • Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-
sensitive, safe, and motivating environment.

• Primary purpose of this philosophy was to attain happy
and tranquil life. All societies are based solely on an
agreement of men not to harm each other— a mutual
advantage.
5. • Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-
sensitive, safe, and motivating environment.

He was against the use of force of education.
6. • Teachers facilitate learning and constantly
nurture every learner.
– Plato’s Philosophy

thus he is the constant guide of the students.
7. • Administrators and staff, as stewards of the
Institution, ensure an enabling and supportive
environment for effective learning to happen.
– Epicureanism
• Goodness: Such an existence in the company of a few
like-minded friends will provide the reassurance and
good fellowship necessary for peace of mind, ataraxia.
8. • Administrators and staff, as stewards of the
Institution, ensure an enabling and supportive
environment for effective learning to happen.
– Plato’s Philosophy

from dark cave of innocence into the bright light of
knowledge.
10. DepEd Vision
We dream of Filipinos
who passionately love their country
and whose values and competencies
enable them to realize their full potential
and contribute meaningfully to building the nation.
As a learner-centered public institution,
the Department of Education
continuously improves itself
to better serve its stakeholders.
11. • “…whose values and competencies
enable them to realize their full potential…”
– Rousseau’s Philosophy
• We prepare the child to live life by attainment of
fullest natural growth leading to balanced,
harmonious and useful life. The focus of Émile is
upon the individual tuition of a boy/young man in
line with the principles of ‘natural education’.
‘Make the citizen good by training’, Jean-
Jacques Rousseau writes, ‘and everything else
will follow’.
12. • “…and contribute meaningfully to building the
nation.”
– Plato’s Philosophy
• This aim, on the other hand, doesn’t focus on personal
growth but the service of the state, which is a guarantor
of the happiness of its citizens, for as long as they allow
it to be the embodiment of justice.
