New curriculum, system for LET
"With the signing of the Joint Memorandum between PRC and Commission on Higher Education (CHED) that reinforces the education and licensing reform agenda of the national government, there arise the need to implement a competency-based, equitable, and sustainable teacher certification system beginning the September 2025 LEPT," PRC stated in PRC Resolution No. 1999 series of 2025.
"The PRC and the Professional Regulatory Board for Professional Teachers (Board) need to adopt and enforce implementing policies and mechanism in the administration of September 2025 LET," the agency added.
This initiative of the government marks a departure from the uniform exam format established in 1996, aligning tests directly with specific teacher training programs for the first time.
Scheduled to commence in phases from September 2025 onward, the new system will feature separate licensure exams for elementary and secondary education with at least ten specializations.
These exams will encompass a range of specializations, including English, Filipino, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Values Education, Technology and Livelihood Education, Technical-Vocational Teacher Education, Physical Education, and Culture and Arts Education.

Aspiring teachers in early childhood and special needs education will likewise be required to take a separate licensure exam.
New Specializations for LET takers coming this September 2025:
- Early Childhood Education (BEEd)
- Special Need Education (BEEd)
- Technical-Vocational Teacher Education (BSEd)
- Physical Education (BSEd)
- Cultural and Arts Education (BSEd)
Each exam will evaluate three key areas: general education, professional education, and the specialized field aligned with the teacher’s area of training.
The long-awaited reform to the teacher licensure exam addresses the persistent teacher-subject mismatch, marking a victory for education advocates and officials who have long championed aligning teacher assessments with subject-specific competencies.
