Education
Midsayap is the centre of education in the first district of North Cotabato and nearby provinces. It is home to the first Notre Dame school in Asia and a Protestant school run by the largest Protestant church in the Philippines, the United Church of Christ in the Philippines called the Southern Christian College. Presently, a number of privately owned tertiary schools sprouted in Midsayap, affirming the role it played as a well-preffered place for parents to send their children in pursuing higher education. It has also an extensive public school system (both elementary and secondary) where basic education is delivered in almost all barangays in the municipality. Furthermore, Midsayap has made it sure to operate a day-care center in all of its 57 barangays with majority 2 or more day-care centers available for pre-schoolers to begin early child education.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education and free discussion are the antidotes of both.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“He was the product of an English public school and university. He was, moreover, a modern product of those seats of athletic exercise. He had little education and highly developed muscles—that is to say, he was no scholar, but essentially a gentleman.”
—H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)
