Education
Local townfolks recognize the importance of education, hence local leaders are working very hard to provide the people access to education as most prominent higher educational institutions in Leyte are in the provincial capital, Tacloban City, Tabontabon, and Tanauan.
- Primary Schools
Almost all barangays in the town have primary and intermediate schools. The two major elementary schools are Dagami North Central School and Dagami South Central School situated just a few meters apart in the town proper. Other major elementary schools are Patoc Elementary School in the north, Guinarona Elementary School in the West and Balilit Elementary School in the south.
- Secondary Schools
The town has three public high schools and one private school run by the local parish. The local public secondary schools are Santa Mesa National High School located in the town proper, Patoc National High School in the north, Guinarona National High School in the west and the private-run Saint Joseph High School in the town center.
- Tertiary Institution
Huron Institute which opened as a vocational training center assisted by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority or TESDA at Barangay Patoc closed down due to lack of funding.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
