EDCOM II proposes education spending of at least 5.5% of GDP
Business World Philippines
|January 28, 2026
THE Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) is pushing for a 10-year education development plan that will set minimum education spending at 5.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2035.
In its final report, EDCOM II said the government needs to sustain the upward trajectory of education spending beyond current budget trends.
According to the Constitution, education receives the biggest budget allocation, which was set at P1.015 trillion in 2026, equivalent to 4.36% of GDP.
The report added that the 10-year National Education Plan (NatPlan) estimates an “indicative incremental cost... of P2.66 trillion over the plan period.”
