The Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS) in the Philippines was restructured and renamed as the Department of Education (DepEd) in 2001 through Republic Act No. 9155. This change aimed to focus the agency primarily on basic education and streamline its functions by separating culture and sports into distinct departments. The reorganization was part of a broader effort to enhance the quality of education in the country. Thus, DepEd was established to oversee elementary and secondary education, emphasizing governance and accountability in the education sector.
