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:
“If factory-labor is not a means of education to the operative of to-day, it is because the employer does not do his duty. It is because he treats his work-people like machines, and forgets that they are struggling, hoping, despairing human beings.”
—Harriet H. Robinson (1825–1911)
“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)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
