Note: Sec. 3(2) of Art. XIV refers to the constitutional duty of educational institutions in teaching the values of patriotism and nationalism and respect for human rights. Clearly, with respect to these provisions, there is no direct or indirect prohibition to Marcos’ interment at the LNMB [Ocampo v. Enriquez, G.R. No. 225973 (2016)].

What are the four essential freedoms of a university (academic freedom)?
Four essential freedoms of a university:
- Who may teach
- What may be taught
- How it shall teach
- Who may be admitted to study
[Garcia v. Faculty Admission Committee, 68 SCRA 277 (1975) citing J. Frankfurter, concurring in Sweezy v. New Hampshire, 354 US 232 (1937)]
Institutional academic freedom includes _______.
Institutional academic freedom includes the right of the school or college to decide for itself, its aims and objectives, and how best to attain them free from outside coercion or interference save possibly when the overriding public interest calls for some restraint.
The right to discipline the student _______________.
The right to discipline the student likewise finds basis in the freedom “what to teach.” Indeed, while it is categorically stated under the Education Act of 1982 that students have a right “to freely choose their field of study, subject to existing curricula and to continue their course therein up to graduation,” such right is subject to the established academic and disciplinary standards laid down by the academic institution
[DLSU Inc., v. CA, G.R. No. 127980 (2007)]
Highest budgetary priority to education
