The Education Act of 1982 is enacted under which legislative code?

• A. RA 4670
• B. PD 1006
• C. BP 232
• D. RA 6728

Answer: (C)

The Education Act of 1982 is a Batas Pambansa measure, meaning it was enacted as Batas Pambansa Blg. 232. In Philippine law, BP denotes laws created by the Batasang Pambansa, the legislature at that time, as opposed to Republic Acts (RA) from the regular Congress or Presidential Decrees (PD) issued by the President. The Education Act of 1982 is specifically known as BP 232, which established the national education framework under that governing body. The other options represent different legislative instruments or numbers that correspond to different laws, not the Education Act of 1982.
