It is a fundamental duty of Ozamiz City Reformatory Center to provide education that is not only confined within the four walls of the classroom but is also contained in the total sphere of human learning and experience. This education gives every inmate the opportunity to know themselves closer through personal development sessions, the avenue for talent and skills development and the social awareness they deserve to enjoy and live out.

       Aside from this, inmates who are elementary level and those who have not gone to school are taught on the basic knowledge of writing, reading and solving numbers, while those who reach high school and college level are taught on technical skills to make themselves competitive and updated of the modern trends in education.
