The Department of Education (DepEd) as a policy promotes effective and efficient policies and programs.
In order to realize its policy, DepEd should be free from any partisan activities, and that reminds its officials and employees to practice the highest form of professionalism and to observe the following measures: refrain from seeking endorsements, recommendations, contributions, support, consideration, political accommodations, or any form of intervention from other government personnel or similar entities outside of the DepEd; and desist from soliciting favorable actions from politicians to facilitate the implementation of programs, projects, or activities, except those covered by the Adopt-a-School Program, initiated by the local government units, funded by the Special Education Fund (SEF), or covered by Partnership agreements and/or allowed by law.
Also, follow the internal rules and regulations of the Department on protocols relative to communication, correspondence, and other appropriate work processes; and write letters of requests or correspondences directly to the Office of the Secretary regarding concerns that may be related to basic education. ###
