The Authorization To Release Educational Records is a crucial document used in the Philippine educational system when there's a need to share student academic records with third parties. This document becomes necessary when students need to provide academic credentials for employment, further education, professional licensing, or immigration purposes. It ensures compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and educational regulations while protecting student privacy rights. The authorization typically specifies which records can be released, to whom, for what purpose, and for how long the authorization remains valid. It's designed to provide educational institutions with clear documentation of consent while giving students control over their educational information.
