THERE are only 106 private elementary schools offering pre-school and grade school that have permits to operate from the Department of Education (DepEd), the agency confirmed.
DepEd-Davao Regional Director Susana Teresa Estigoy said their legal team has been monitoring private schools in Davao Region to see if any is operating without permits.
Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.
"We don't know what schools are operating without permits because what we have in our records are only those that have permits," Estigoy said during Monday's Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City.
Based on the latest records from DepEd, there are 106 legitimate private elementary schools in Davao City, 19 in Tagum city, 11 in Digos City, and 11 more in Davao del Sur province.

If in case the department will determine that a certain school has no authority to operate, this does not mean that their student's effort will be in vain, Estigoy said.
DepEd, through National Educational Testing and Research Center, will require the students to take an examination to determine if they will be allowed to transfer to another school in the same grade level.
