The Metro/Municipal/District Director then recommends the applicant’s release to the Regional Director.

3. The Metro/Municipal/District Director forwards the applicant’s documents to the Regional Education Office for final approval by the Regional Director.

5. After the final approval is given, the current Metro/Municipal/District Director and Head of Basic/SHS are informed accordingly.
