The Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) is a Philippine Congressional entity created by the 18th Congress of the Philippines.[1][2]

The body was created by virtue of Republic Act 11899, which lapsed into law on July 23, 2022.[3]

The commission is tasked to conduct a national review of the country's education sector after the COVID-19 pandemic exacted a heavy toll on learning.[4]
