What each status means
An order’s status is the strongest change that a later DepEd Order makes to it in so many words. Take it as a pointer: read the quoted sentence, and the order itself, before you rely on it.
- Repealed
- A later issuance repealed, rescinded, revoked, or superseded the whole order, or ended it for good.
- Partly repealed
- A later issuance repealed some of its provisions, or whatever in it conflicts with the new issuance. The rest may still apply.
- Implementation deferred
- Its implementation was deferred, suspended, or put under a moratorium, and no later lifting was found.
- Amended
- Still in force, with parts amended, modified, or revised by a later issuance.
- Supplemented or clarified
- Still in force. A later issuance added to it, clarified it, corrected it, or extended it.
- Possibly changed
- A later issuance seems to change it, but not in explicit words. Read the quoted sentence.
- No later change found
- No later DepEd Order in the tracker names it as changed. Often still in force, but it may be time-bound, ended in part by a general repealing clause, or changed by a law, a memorandum, or another issuance the tracker doesn’t read.
The orders that changed the most
Some orders rewrite many earlier issuances. Others are rewritten again and again, so their current rules have to be pieced together from several orders. Select a bar to open the order in the table.

What a DepEd Order is
DepEd’s policy on making policy, DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2015, sets out what each kind of issuance is for. DepEd Orders are the ones that establish policy.
Issuances which contain policies promulgated by the DepEd CO and signed by the Secretary shall be embodied in DepEd Orders when the application of the policies are DepEd-wide or nationwide and in Office Orders when the policies are limited to offices, bureaus, services, centers, in the Central Office.
DepEd Order is an issuance confined to announcement of policies or of matters which are of general and reasonably permanent in nature.
- Content
- Establishes DepEd policies, and may set out the procedures for carrying them out.
- Effect
- Mandates or constrains the actions of DepEd’s stakeholders, and creates rights and obligations in furtherance of DepEd’s mandate.
- Duration
- Usually long-term or permanent, unless rescinded or amended by another DepEd Order.
- Scope
- Usually concerns DepEd-wide issues and applies DepEd-wide or nationwide.
- Issuing authority
- Issued from the Central Office and signed by the Secretary as the alter ego of the President.
- How many
- DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2015 counts more than 3,270 DepEd Orders and 12,938 DepEd Memoranda issued from 1971 to 2012.
The traits are Annex 1b of DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2015, in its own terms; the count is its first footnote.
DepEd Orders and other DepEd issuances
DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2015 names five kinds of DepEd issuance, and the DepEd Manual of Style adds the memorandum with limited circulation. Regional and division offices issue their own memoranda too.
- DepEd Order (DO)
- Policy for the whole department, meant to last. Signed by the Secretary.
- DepEd Memorandum (DM)
- Instructions or information, usually temporary: committees and task forces, lists and reports, celebrations, surveys, holidays, examinations, contests and their results, conferences, and reminders of other agencies’ rules. Signed by the Secretary or the concerned Undersecretary.
- Memorandum with limited circulation
- Like a DepEd Memorandum, but for only a few regions or offices. It carries a strand code instead of a series number, such as DM-OSEC-2015-001, and is not uploaded to the DepEd website.
- Office Order (OO)
- Like a DepEd Order, but only for Central Office personnel: internal rules and procedures, and notices of personnel actions. Numbered by strand, such as OO-OSEC-2015-001.
- Office Memorandum (OM)
- Like a DepEd Memorandum, but only for Central Office personnel and staff. Numbered by strand, such as OM-OSEC-2015-001.
- DepEd Advisory
- Announces programs, scholarships, and activities of organizations outside DepEd, under DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2013. It creates no rights or obligations, endorses nothing, and is no authority to attend on official business.
- Regional and Division Memoranda
- Issued by Regional Directors and Schools Division Superintendents for their own region or division, often to carry out a national issuance there. Each office numbers its own, such as the Cordillera Administrative Region’s Regional Memorandum No. 158, s. 2020.
- Joint circulars
- Rules DepEd signs with other agencies, such as the Department of Budget and Management, listed apart on the DepEd website. A DepEd Order can also adopt another agency’s circular.
The strand codes in limited-circulation numbers are OSEC (the Office of the Secretary), FA (Finance and Administration), CI (Curriculum and Instruction), GO (Governance and Operations), LA (Legal and Legislative Affairs), and SM (Strategic Management), as DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2015 set them.
How to read an order number
An order’s number and series identify it. Numbering starts again at 1 every calendar year, so the year is part of the name.
DepEd Order No. 013, s. 2024
- DepEd Order
- The kind of issuance. From 2000 to October 2001 the same orders were DECS Orders.
- No. 013
- The 13th order of the year. DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2015 has the number assigned “following a chronological system that begins with the number one (1) every calendar year”. Orders from 2018 on usually pad it with zeros; 13 and 013 are the same order.
- s. 2024
- The series: the year whose numbering the order belongs to. The DepEd Manual of Style says the s “stands for series” and is written in lowercase.
The DepEd Manual of Style writes an issuance in full at first mention, DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2013, and short after that, DO 8, s. 2013, without “No.”. This page writes orders the short way in its table.
How a DepEd Order takes effect
Each order says when it takes effect, in a clause near its end. Behind those clauses are the Administrative Code and the Supreme Court’s rule on publication.
Signed and numbered
The Secretary signs the order, and DepEd assigns it the next number of the year.
Published
DepEd posts the order on its website. DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2015 also calls for publication in the Official Gazette under Executive Order No. 200, s. 1987, which makes laws effective 15 days after publication. In Tañada v. Tuvera (1986), the Supreme Court held that rules implementing a law must be published, while internal rules that regulate only an agency’s own personnel need not be.
Filed with ONAR
Under Book VII of the Administrative Code of 1987, every agency files three certified copies of each rule with the UP Law Center, whose Office of the National Administrative Register (ONAR) keeps them and publishes them in the National Administrative Register. A rule takes effect 15 days after filing, unless a different date is fixed.
Takes effect
On the date the order’s effectivity clause sets. Many orders say 15 days after publication or after filing with ONAR; others take effect immediately upon approval and publication on the DepEd website.
Stays in force
Until a later issuance repeals, rescinds, or modifies it, or, for an order made for one school year, event, or fiscal year, until that period ends. DepEd’s Records Division keeps the original copies.
This Order shall take effect 15 days upon its approval and after publication on the DepEd website and registration with the Office of the National Administrative Register (ONAR) at the University of the Philippines Law Center (UP LC), UP Diliman, Quezon City. It shall remain in force until and unless otherwise repealed, rescinded, or modified accordingly.
How orders are repealed, amended, and supplemented
A later issuance changes an order by saying so. These are the words DepEd uses, from the strongest change to the lightest, with an order from the table that shows each.
- Repealed, rescinded, revoked
The order no longer applies. DepEd’s repealing clauses often put the words together: “repealed, rescinded, or modified accordingly”. DepEd Order No. 1, s. 2024 says simply: “DO 023, s. 2023 is revoked.”
- Superseded
A new order takes the old one’s place, usually on the same subject, so the old one no longer applies.
- Partly repealed
Some provisions end and the rest stay. A clause that repeals the provisions of a named order “inconsistent with” the new one is a partial repeal: only the conflicting parts end.
- Deferred, suspended, under moratorium
The order stays on the books, but carrying it out is paused, until a later issuance lifts the pause. DepEd Order No. 53, s. 2016 lifted the moratorium that DepEd Order No. 44, s. 2013 had put on buying supplementary reading materials.
- Amended, modified, revised
Part of the order is changed, deleted, or added to, and the rest stays in force. DepEd Order No. 15, s. 2024 “partially amends DO 001, s. 2023, particularly Annex C thereof”, and says its other provisions “shall remain in effect”.
- Supplemented, addendum
Something is added to the order without changing what it already says.
- Clarified
A later issuance explains how to read the order, without changing its text.
- Corrected, corrigendum
An error in the order is fixed. DepEd Order No. 44, s. 2008 says paragraph 4 of DepEd Order No. 41, s. 2008 “is hereby corrected as follows”.
- Extended
A deadline or period in the order is made longer.
- Reiterated
A later issuance repeats that the order still applies. It changes nothing, so the tracker doesn’t count it toward a status.

A declaration in a statute, usually in its repealing clause, that a particular and specific law, identified by its number or title, is repealed is an express repeal; all others are implied repeals.
All DepEd Orders and other related issuances, rules and regulations and provisions which are inconsistent with these guidelines are hereby repealed, rescinded, or modified accordingly.
The second clause is the kind most orders end with. It names nothing, so the Court in Mecano calls it a general repealing provision, not an express repeal: an earlier order ends under it only where the two truly conflict, and repeals by implication are not favored. That is why the table can’t show every change, and why an order marked No later change found may still have been displaced in part.
From MECS and DECS to DepEd
The department has had four names since 1978, and its orders carried each one. The series you see in older citations follows the name of the day.
1978: Ministry of Education and Culture
Created by Presidential Decree No. 1397, as DepEd’s own history of the department records.
1982: Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports (MECS)
The Education Act of 1982 (Batas Pambansa Blg. 232) vested the supervision and regulation of educational institutions in the MECS. Its orders were MECS Orders: DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2013 still cites MECS Order No. 23, s. 1985.
1987: Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS)
Executive Order No. 117, s. 1987, approved January 30, 1987, reorganized the MECS and provided that under a new Constitution with a presidential form of government it would be called the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. The 1987 Constitution was ratified on February 2, 1987. Its orders were DECS Orders.
2001: Department of Education (DepEd)
The Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001 (Republic Act No. 9155), dated August 11, 2001, provides: “The Department of Education, Culture and Sports shall henceforth be called the Department of Education.” Its culture and sports functions went to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and the Philippine Sports Commission.
The numbering carried on through the change. In our collection, the order of October 11, 2001 is DECS Order No. 52, s. 2001; the next, of October 29, is Department of Education Order No. 53; and from November 9 they read DepEd Order, starting with No. 54.
How this tracker was built, and its limits
The tracker is NASH Reviewer’s own compilation from the text of DepEd’s orders. It is useful for finding where to look, not a record you can rely on alone.
The orders
We downloaded the DepEd Order PDFs from deped.gov.ph and converted each to text. Duplicate files of the same order were merged.
What each order records
For every order, the tracker records its title, date, a short summary, its topics, whether it is time-bound, and each earlier issuance it names: what it does to it, the part affected, and the exact sentence and page.
Repeals checked again
Whether a repeal ends a whole order or only part of it is easy to get wrong, so every repeal was checked three more times and the majority answer kept. When the checks disagreed, the change is marked a close call.
Statuses
Each order takes the strongest change that later orders make to it in explicit words. An order changed only in less explicit wording is marked Possibly changed.
Official links
Each order links to its PDF on deped.gov.ph where our crawl of the site found the file.
What it can’t tell you
- Only DepEd Orders are read as the source of a change. A memorandum, a law, or another agency’s rule that changes an order is missed, unless a later order reports it.
- General clauses that repeal whatever is inconsistent, without naming an order, are not counted.
- The text conversion and the tracker both make mistakes, most often in order numbers, dates, and long tables and annexes. Very long orders were read in part: their opening and every paragraph that names another issuance or uses change wording.
- The collection covers orders from 2000 to 2026 and may be missing some. Where the date issued is blank, it couldn’t be confirmed from the order itself.
- Nothing here is legal advice. Read the official copy, and ask the issuing office or your Schools Division Office when it matters.
Common questions
Short answers drawn from the issuances. Your division office has the final word on your case.
A DepEd Order (DO) is the Department of Education’s issuance for policy. DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2015 says DepEd Orders establish DepEd policies, can create rights and obligations, are usually long-term or permanent unless rescinded or amended by another DepEd Order, usually apply DepEd-wide or nationwide, and are issued by the Central Office and signed by the Secretary as the alter ego of the President.
A DepEd Order sets policy meant to last. A DepEd Memorandum (DM) carries instructions or information that are usually temporary: committees and task forces, lists and reports, celebrations, surveys, holidays, examinations, contests and their results, conferences, and reminders of rules issued by other agencies. The DepEd Manual of Style puts it in one line each: an order covers matters “of general and reasonably permanent” nature, and a memorandum is “temporary in nature”.
It stands for series, the year the order belongs to. DepEd numbers its orders from 1 again every calendar year, so DO 13, s. 2024 is the 13th order of 2024, and the year is what tells it apart from DO 13, s. 2015. The DepEd Manual of Style writes the first mention in full (DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2013) and later ones short (DO 8, s. 2013).
When its effectivity clause says, near the end of the order. Many take effect 15 days after publication or after filing with the Office of the National Administrative Register (ONAR) at the UP Law Center, the 15 days the Administrative Code of 1987 sets for agency rules. Others take effect immediately upon approval and publication on the DepEd website. Read the clause in the order itself.
An order stays in force until it is repealed, rescinded, or modified, and many orders say so in their effectivity clause. Look for later issuances that name it: this page’s table lists those it found among later DepEd Orders, with the sentence that makes each change. “No later change found” is not proof that an order still applies. A general clause that repeals whatever is inconsistent can end parts of it without naming it, a law or another agency’s rule can override it, a memorandum can change it, and an order made for one school year or one event simply runs its course.
Repealing, rescinding, or revoking an order ends it. Amending, modifying, or revising an order changes part of it, and the rest stays in force. A supplement or addendum adds to an order, a clarification explains how to read it, and a corrigendum corrects an error in it.
It is a general repealing clause. Because it names no issuance, it ends only those parts of earlier issuances that truly conflict with the new order. The Supreme Court explained in Mecano v. Commission on Audit (1992) that such a clause is not an express repeal: the conflict has to be found. This tracker counts the clause against an order only when it names that order, and then marks it Partly repealed.
On the DepEd website, which lists DepEd Orders newest first with a filter by year. In this page’s table, open an order to find the link to its PDF on deped.gov.ph wherever our crawl of the site found it. DepEd also files certified copies of its orders with the UP Law Center’s Office of the National Administrative Register.
No. NASH Reviewer is not affiliated with DepEd. The tracker is our own compilation from the text of each order, and every status here is a starting point for your own reading. Before you act on an order, read its official copy, and ask the issuing office or your Schools Division Office when it matters.
