Secondary and Tertiary Education
Secondary Level
There is one public high school in Baras that started in 1997. The school was temporarily housed in the new municipal building and was transferred to Sitio Malalim. The present enrollment is far below the 2,071 population of persons aged 13-16 years old. Though there are also three other private secondary schools as mentioned above. It should also be noted that neighboring Tanay town also offers a viable alternative for secondary education. Before the establishment of Baras NHS in 1997, most students go to Tanay for their secondary education.
