Teaching as a Profession
In the words “professional manner,” “gawang propesyonal,” “professional fee for expert
services rendered” the word “professional” implies one who possesses skill and
competence/expertise. “Highly professional” “unprofessional…to act that way’ imply a code of
ethics by which a professional person abides. In short, a professional is one who conforms to
the technical or ethical standards of a profession. So two elements of a profession are

competence and a Code of Ethics.
The other elements of a profession are:
1. Initial Professional Education – Professionals generally begin their professional lives by
completing a university program in their chosen fields – teacher education, engineering,
nursing, accountancy. This means long and arduous years of preparation. Take note this
is just initial, which means only the beginning because a professional is expected to learn
endlessly.
2. Accreditation – University programs are approved by a regulatory body like the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the Philippines to ensure that graduates from
these recognized programs start their professional lives with competence.

3. Licensing – Licensing is mandatory, not voluntary and is administered by a government
authority. In the Philippines, this government authority is the Professional Regulation
Commission (PRC).
4. Professional Development – This is an ongoing professional education that maintains or
improves professionals’ knowledge and skills after they begin professional practice. In the
Philippines this is Continuing Professional Development mandated by RA 10912, otherwise
known as the CPD Act of 2016.
5. Professional Societies – Professional see themselves as part of a community of like-
minded individuals who put their professional standards above the individual self-interest or
their employer’s self-interest. These professional societies put dedication to the public
interest and commitment to moral and ethical values. Professional societies define
certification criteria, manage certification programs, establish accreditation standards and
define a code of ethics and disciplinary action for violations of that code.
6. Code of Ethics – Each profession has a code of ethics to ensure that its practitioners
behave responsibly. The code states what professionals should do. Professionals can be
ejected from their professional societies or lose their licenses to practice for violating the
code of ethics.
The teaching profession is governed by the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers.
Violation of the Code of Ethics for professional teachers is one of the grounds for the
revocation of the professional teacher’s Certificate of Registration and suspension from the
practice of the teaching profession (Sec. 23., RA. 7836).
