COTABATO CITY — The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) gets nearer in implementing its Bangsamoro Education Code ((BEC).

Comprising the BARMM are the provinces of Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi, and the cities of Cotabato, Lamitan, and Marawi, as well as the Special Geographic Area (SGA) made up of 63 barangays or villages in North Cotabato that opted to be under BARMM jurisdiction. North Cotabato itself is not part of the region.

As a new political entity (NPE), the BARMM was established through the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) which implements the 2014 Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB)

This is implementation will be under and through the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) under the leadership of Education Minister Mohagher M. Iqbal.

On June 30, 2022 a team of MBHTE officials led by Iqbal and complemented with ministry’s battery of legal counsels, such as Atty. Sittie Mariam Balahim, Atty. Hamida Mantikayan, Atty. Ysnaira Ibrahim, Atty. Mojahid Guro, and Atty. Neil Villagonzalo, convened the whole day of June 30, 2022 to finalize the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Act No. 18, or the Bangsamoro Education Code (BEC).
