What does LET stand for in the Philippine education system?

• A. Licensure Examination for Teachers in the Philippines
• B. Local Examination for Teachers in the Philippines
• C. Licensure Exam for Teachers System
• D. Licensing Test for Teachers in Schools

Answer: (A)

LET stands for Licensure Examination for Teachers, the national licensing exam teachers must pass in the Philippines to practice teaching. It’s administered by the Professional Regulation Commission in coordination with the Board for Professional Teachers and serves to certify that a teacher meets the required professional standards. Passing LET grants the license to teach in both public and private schools, and the exam typically covers professional education and the relevant subject content. The wording in the option that adds “in the Philippines” reflects the same idea—LET is the Philippine national exam for teachers—but the standard name is Licensure Examination for Teachers. The other phrasings—local exam, a system, or a licensing test in schools—don’t match how the national licensure for teachers is described.
