Private school teachers are also required of a professional license.

• A. No, not required
• B. Yes, it is true
• C. Only for senior teachers
• D. Depends on district

Answer: (B)

Teaching is a licensed profession in the Philippines, so anyone who serves as a teacher must hold a professional license issued after passing the Licensure Examination for Teachers. This requirement applies to teachers in private schools just as it does in public schools, ensuring that all educators meet the same national standards for subject mastery and professional conduct. It isn’t about how long someone has taught or which district they work in; licensure is a nationwide credential that validates competence and ethical practice. So the statement is true because the professional license is the standard credential for teaching, regardless of the school type.
