The DepEd logo and DepEd seal are the two most commonly used images in the Education Department. They are being used from legal documents to diplomas, certificates, websites and even the Department’s vehicles.
If you’re confused between the two, we made this simple post for you to know the difference between the DepEd logo and the DepEd seal, but first let’s learn more about DepEd.
The Depart of Education
The Department of Education (abbreviated as DepEd; Filipino: Kagawaran ng Edukasyon) is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for ensuring access to, promoting equity in, and improving the quality of basic education. It is the main agency tasked to manage and govern the Philippine system of basic education. It is the chief formulator of Philippine education policy and responsible for the Philippine primary and secondary school systems. It has its headquarters at the DepEd Complex in Meralco Avenue, Pasig City.
The department is currently led by the Secretary of Education, nominated by the President of the Philippines and confirmed by the Commission on Appointments. The Secretary is a member of the Cabinet. The current Secretary of Education is Leonor Briones. Presently, its mission is to provide quality basic education that is equitably accessible to all and lay the foundation for lifelong learning and service for the common good. It has changed its vision statement, removing a phrase that some groups deem to be “too sectarian” for a government institution. -Wikipedia
