The Department of Education (DepEd) of the Philippines plans to mainstream basic law subjects into the regular curriculum of elementary and high schools, to mold the students into responsible and law-abiding citizens.
The Public Education on the Rule of Law Advancement and Support (PERLAS) modules had been turned over to DepEd for integration into the basic education curriculum, after a series of teacher trainings and field testings conducted nationwide since last year.
PERLAS, now on its second phase, is aimed at educating and informing the public, especially students, about the workings of the justice system.
