The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) issued MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 08, Series of 1992,
directing the creation and adoption of syllabi for all licensure examination subjects.
The syllabi serve as the basis for drafting questions for the examination question bank.

Development and Adoption of the Social Workers Licensure Examination Syllabi

In consultation with the National Association for Social Work Education, Inc. (NASWEI), the Board formulated the syllabi.
The syllabi are based on the prescribed books and readings used in Philippine social work schools and colleges.
The syllabi document (Annex "A") was formally adopted through the Board's quasi-legislative power under Section 8, Article II of R.A. No. 4373.

Dissemination and Implementation of the Syllabi

The Board resolved to disseminate the syllabi widely to all educational institutions offering social work courses.
The resolution is to take effect after its approval by the Commission of Higher Education following:
- Fifteen (15) days after publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation (whichever is earlier).
- At least three (3) months before the scheduled licensure examination.

Quasi-legislative Authority and Formal Adoptions

The Board exercises quasi-legislative authority in prescribing the examination syllabi.
The resolution was signed by Board members and approved by the PRC Commissioners, giving it formal regulatory force.

Access to Detailed Syllabi

The full text of the syllabi is available upon request at the Office of the National Administrative Register (ONAR), University of the Philippines Law Center, Diliman, Quezon City.
This provision ensures transparency and accessibility of the examination content guidelines to the public and educational institutions.
