QuestionsQuestions (PRC BOARD FOR PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS Resolution NO. 228, SERIES OF 1996)
No. The text states that R.A. 7836 does not provide for the passing general average rating of an examinee in the Licensure Examination for Teachers.
It cited Section 6(g) of P.D. No. 223 (as amended), which allows the Professional Regulatory Boards (subject to PRC Commission approval) to determine the appropriate passing general rating if not provided in the law regulating the profession.
The rule must be subject to the approval of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Commission Chairman/Commission, as indicated by the resolution’s approval language.
A general average rating of at least seventy-five percent (75%).
No rating below fifty percent (50%) in any subject.
No. The rule expressly requires that there be no rating below 50% in any subject, in addition to the required 75% general average.
It is applicable starting in the August 1996 Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers.
It becomes effective after fifteen (15) days from its publication in the Official Gazette or any newspaper of general circulation, whichever comes earlier.
The Board adopts and promulgates the rule, but it is subject to PRC Commission approval, reflecting a shared regulatory authority under the cited P.D. No. 223.
Yes. The rule prohibits ratings below 50% in any subject; a score of exactly 50% does not violate that condition.
No. They fail the minimum 75% general average requirement, even if all subject scores are at least 50%.
It implies the Board’s rule is not fully effective upon adoption alone; it requires PRC Commission approval to be valid as a regulatory rule.
