Schools Division Office of Imus City
The promulgation of Republic Act 10161, converting the municipality of Imus into a component city, gave birth to the Schools Division Office of Imus City on January 12, 2013. The conception of the Division was made possible through the efforts of then Congressman of the 3rd District of Cavite, Hon. Ayong S. Maliksi; former City Mayor of Imus, Hon. Emmanuel L. Maliksi; former Regional Director of Region IV-A, Dr. Lorna D. Dino; and former Superintendent of the Province of Cavite, Dr. Yolanda V. Carpina.
Currently, 38 public schools comprise the division, including twenty-five (25) elementary schools, five (5) junior high schools, four (4) integrated schools, and four (4) senior high schools.
In addition, the Alternative Learning System (ALS) has established 38 Community Learning Centers in Imus City serving 1,106 learners.
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.
Mission
To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education where:
- Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment
- Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner
- Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to happen
- Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for developing life-long learners
Mandate
The Department of Education was established through the Education Decree of 1863 as the Superior Commission of Primary Instruction under a Chairman. The Education agency underwent many reorganization efforts in the 20th century in order to better define its purpose vis a vis the changing administrations and charters. The present day Department of Education was eventually mandated through Republic Act 9155, otherwise known as the Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001 which establishes the mandate of this agency.
