In a press statement, the CSC announced that the updated policy officially recognizes Grade 10 and Grade 12 graduates as qualified for sub-professional roles in the civil service.

"This policy shift aligns the qualification standards with the outcomes of the K-12 education reforms and aims to broaden opportunities for younger Filipinos to join the civil service," it said.
