After a series of teacher trainings and field testing have been conducted nationwide, the Public Education on the Rule of Law Advancement and Support (PERLAS) Teaching Exemplars on the Rule of Law were formally turned over to the Department of Education for integration into the basic education curriculum.
PERLAS II aims to educate and inform the public, especially the students in public elementary and high schools, on the functioning of a society that is anchored on the justice system. It is a work in progress among DepEd, Supreme Court, Libertás (Lawyers’ League for Liberty), and funding institutions such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through The Asia Foundation (TAF), and the World Bank.
