What is RA 10912 and what does it require of professionals including teachers?

• A. An act regulating school colors.
• B. An act on teacher salaries.
• C. The Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016; requires CPD units for license renewal.
• D. An act on student attendance.

Answer: (C)

RA 10912, the Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016, requires licensed professionals, including teachers, to earn CPD credit units in order to renew their licenses. CPD activities span a range of learning experiences—attending accredited seminars and trainings, taking courses, engaging in self-directed study, and other approved activities—that help professionals maintain and update their competence. The overall aim is ongoing professional growth and ensuring standards stay current across the profession. This isn’t about school colors, salaries, or student attendance; it’s about formal, ongoing development tied to license renewal.
