SECTION 2: STATEMENT OF
THE POLICY
Pursuant to the 1987 Constitution, the State shall defend the right of children to assistance, in- cluding proper care and nutrition, and special protec- tion from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelly, exploi- tation and other conditions prejudicial to their devel- opment (Article XV, Section 3 [2]). The Constitution further provides that all educational institutions shall inculcate patriotism and nationalism, foster love of humanity, respect for human rights appreciation of the role of national heroes in the historical devel- opment of the country, teach the rights and duties of citizenship, strengthen ethical and spiritual values, develop moral character and personal discipline, en- courage critical and creative thinking, broaden scien- tific and technological knowledge, and promote vo- cational efficiency. (Article XIV, Sect ion 3 (2).
The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) aims to protect children from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury and abuse, ne- glect or negligent treatment, maltreatment, and ex- ploitation, including sexual abuse. Some Convention establishes the right of the child to education, and with a view to achieving this right progressively, and based on equal opportunity, it obliges the govern- ment to take measures to encourage regular attend- ance in school and reduce dropout rates. Thus, it is mandated that all appropriate measures be under- taken to ensure that school discipline is administered in a manner consistent with the child's human digni- ty, and in conformity with the
Towards this end, the Department of Educa- tion (DepEd), in collaboration with its partners and stakeholders, shall ensure that all schools ore condu- cive to the education of children. Tn e best interest
of the child shall be the paramount consideration in all decisions and act ions involving children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institu- tions, courts of law, administrative authorities, and legislative bodies, consistent with the principle of First Call for Children, as enunciated in the CRC.
Teachers and learning facilitators especially in learning centers ore their substitute parents and are expected to discharge their functions and duties with this in mind. In this connection, the Family Code em- powers the school, its administrators and teachers, or the individual, entity or institution engaged in childcare to exercise the special parental authority and responsibility over the child, while under their supervision, instruct ion or custody. The Department recognizes that cases of abuse may arise because of the difficult situations faced by teachers a other offi- cials within and outside school. DepEd has adopted the policy to provide special protection to children who are gravely threatened or endangered by cir- cumstances which affect their normal development and over which they have no control and to assist the concerned agencies in their rehabilitation.
Furthermore, this Department aims to ensure such special protection from all forms of abuse and exploitation and care as is necessary for the child 's well-being, considering the primary rights and duties of parents, legal guardians, or other individuals who are legally responsible and exercise custody over the child. DepEd recognizes the participatory rights of the child in the formulation and implementation of policies, and in all proceedings affection them, whether they be victims or aggressors, either directly or through a representative. Accordingly, this Department reiterates a zero-tolerance policy for any act of child abuse, exploitation, violence, dis- crimination, bullying and other forms of abuse, and hereby promulgates this Department Order.
