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:
“There used to be housekeepers with more energy than sense—the everlasting scrubber; the over-neat woman. Since the better education of woman has come to stay, this type of woman has disappeared almost, if not entirely.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
“To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil’s soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
“Infants and young children are not just sitting twiddling their thumbs, waiting for their parents to teach them to read and do math. They are expending a vast amount of time and effort in exploring and understanding their immediate world. Healthy education supports and encourages this spontaneous learning.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
