Which option describes the ownership provision under Article 14?

• A. Official Language: English and Filipino
• B. Professional Development, Academic Freedom, Right to choose course
• C. Ownership of schools by Filipino Citizens
• D. Sports

Answer: (C)

Under Article 14 the ownership of educational institutions is placed in the hands of Filipino citizens. This provision protects national control over education, ensuring that schools and the direction of learning stay aligned with Filipino interests and values rather than foreign interests. The other topics listed—language policy, aspects like professional development and academic freedom, or sports—do not address who owns and controls educational institutions, so they don’t capture the ownership requirement described in Article 14.
