The Science Technology Engineering Mathematics Education Program (ESEP) is a science and mathematics-oriented curriculum devised for high schools in the Philippines. Currently, there are 110 high schools offeri

ng the ESEP program, the majority being public. Comparison between the ESEP, the RSHS Union and the PSHS System

All three types of science high schools in the Philippines (ESEP high schools, high schools in the Regional Science High School Union and the Philippine Science High School System) offer a curriculum placing importance in mathematics and the sciences, as well as research. It is noted though that the RSHS Union and the PSHS System have higher standards of science and mathematics education than ESEP high schools. Likewise, ESEP high schools and the RSHS Union are operated by Department of Education, while the PSHS system is operated by Department of Science and Technology. In ESEP high schools, transfer students are permitted to enroll provided the student is coming from another ESEP high school, from an RSHS or from the PSHS System. In the Regional Science High School Union and the PSHS System, transfers are only allowed within their respective systems for incoming sophomores only. Students who wish to transfer from an ESEP high school to the RSHS or PSHS systems will not be admitted, although the reverse is permissible. All three types of science high school also maintain different grading systems. ESEP high schools and the RSHS Union apply the standard grading system for high schools in the Philippines, while the PSHS System maintains a unique grading system using the 1.00-5.00 scale.
