AN ACT INSTITUTING A FRAMEWORK OF GOVERNANCE FOR BASIC EDUCATION, ESTABLISHING AUTHORITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY, RENAMING the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports as the Department of Education, and for other purposes is Republic Act No.

• A. Republic Act No. 8491
• B. Republic Act No. 10627
• C. Republic Act No. 9155
• D. Republic Act No. 9710

Answer: (C)

The main idea tested is identifying the law that reorganizes how basic education is governed and changes the name of the department responsible for it. Republic Act 9155, known as the Governance of Basic Education Act, establishes a formal framework for governance and accountability in basic education. It clarifies how policy is set and overseen, and it renames the Department of Education, Culture and Sports to the Department of Education to reflect a more focused mandate on basic education. This renaming marks a shift toward concentrating leadership and governance specifically on elementary and secondary education, with structures like the National Education Council guiding policy and ensuring accountability across the system. The other acts touch on different topics—such as the creation of the National Service Training Program, broader education reforms not involving a department rename, or distinct provisions related to women—so they don’t address the governance framework or the department’s name change.
