DepEd Warns Public Against Fake Scholarship Scam

22 April 2024 - According to an advisory on the Department of Education (DepEd) Facebook page, the public is being warned about fake DepEd scholarship posts circulating online. These posts are reportedly misusing the DepEd seal and the photo of the Vice President and Secretary of Education, Sara Z. Duterte, to deceive people.

DepEd strongly advises parents and guardians not to disclose their children’s school information and identification in response to these fraudulent posts, as it could jeopardize their security.

The public is urged to stay vigilant against such misinformation. For official announcements and information from the Department, DepEd directs everyone to their official platforms:

  • Facebook: fb.com/DeparmentOfEducation.PH
  • Twitter: twitter.com/DepEd_PH
  • Instagram: instagram.com/depedphilippines
  • Website: www.deped.gov.ph

Any misleading or suspicious information about basic education should be reported to the DepEd Action Center at depedactioncenter@deped.gov.ph.

DepEd continues to stand by its commitment to providing quality education and protecting the welfare of its students, as reflected in its motto, #MATATAG #BansangMakabata #BatangMakabansa.
