PQRF is associated with which Republic Act number?

• A. RA 9155
• B. RA 10157
• C. RA 10647
• D. RA 10912

Answer: (C)

PQRF is anchored in the national system that describes and recognizes learning across education and training. The Republic Act that created and codified that framework is Republic Act 10647, known as the Philippine Qualifications Framework Act. This law establishes the Philippine Qualifications Framework as the national policy for developing, recognizing, and comparing qualifications—from basic education through higher education and non-formal learning. It sets the levels and learning outcomes that credentials must meet and assigns implementing roles to agencies like CHED and TESDA to ensure credentials are portable and aligned with international standards. The other Acts address different topics and do not establish the national qualifications framework, so they don’t govern PQRF.
