• A. Executive Order No. 27
• B. Executive Order No. 189
• C. Republic Act No. 1079
• D. Republic Act No. 1425

Answer: (B)

Executive Order No. 189 issued by President Corazon Aquino reorganized the Department of Education, Culture and Sports and defined its authority over public basic education, including the supervision and control of all public secondary school teachers. This order established the structure and reach of DECS so that nationwide policies and standards for secondary education could be implemented consistently, placing teachers under its administrative supervision. The other options pertain to different laws or orders that do not address how DECS oversees public secondary education and its teachers, so they don’t fit the described scope.
