Aurora exhibited a relatively high literacy rate of 98 percent (DepEd, 2002). This is due to the existence of government schools which provide formal and non-formal education even in the remote areas of the province.

Formal Education

There are three (3) levels of formal education, namely: Elementary, secondary and Tertiary. Government schools predominate the educational system and complemented by private schools.

The tertiary education in the Province of Aurora is being served by government owned Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT) and two private sectarian institutions, the Mount Carmel College (MCC) in Baler and Wesleyan University-Philippines in Maria Aurora.

TESDA caters to vocational and technical education. This office will construct additional training centers including a dormitory to improve its services.
