This study concerned itself with the administrative cases that were filed with the Ministry of Education and Culture, Region VI, from January, 1968 to December, 1976. It sought to determine the rate of incidence of types of cases in each school division and in groups of respondents classified according to the educational level on which they serve, sex, and official position. The study also followed up the cases to the decisions made about them. Finally it compared the incidence of cases four years before and four years after martial law.

The types of cases were identified through analysis of the contents of the records of the 185 administrative cases under study. The behavior of respondents as described by the complainants in the various administrative cases was analyzed and categorized under four groupings.

To establish the reliability of the grouping of the grounds for disciplinary action as provided by Presidential Decree No. 807, the opinions of five consultants were sought. It was decided that agreement of at least eighty per cent must be achieved in order to establish the reliability of the categorization.
