Heads, numbers and emails as the offices' own pages and documents published them, each with its source and date. An email is listed only where an official page shows it as text; many sites hide theirs from automated readers. The elected Parliament takes office on 30 October 2026, and the Chief Minister and the cabinet may change with it. Confirm a number before you rely on it. A number that no longer works, or a head who has changed? Tell us.

Read with the office’s budget, a tenure says who ran the office when its money was spent.

How this was read

MBHTE has no citizen’s charter on file and its own site (mbhte.bangsamoro.gov.ph) returns a Cloudflare challenge; the Key Officials page was read from a Wayback snapshot (2025-05-03), which still shows Mohagher M. Iqbal as Minister and Haron S. Meling as Deputy Minister and prints "Director-General for Basic Education" twice (Abdullah P. Salik, Jr. and Marjuni M. Maddi) with no Higher Education entry. Current names are taken from 2026 BIO releases on bangsamoro.gov.ph. Divisions, bureaus and field offices are from BAA 13 (source_kind law; the Bangsamoro Education Code may have since restructured them; not checked). BAA 13 lists Sulu among the division and provincial offices; Sulu is no longer part of BARMM.
