MANILA—The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has revoked the accreditation of 12 driving schools in the National Capital Region (NCR) after it resolved multiple Show Cause Orders issued against them through its Central Accreditation Committee on Driving Schools and Medical Clinics (CAC-DSMC).

The decision followed an evaluation of the schools’ compliance with existing LTO rules and regulations, particularly under Memorandum Circular No. VDM-2023-2460.

The LTO identified the following as among those whose accreditation was revoked:

RSY Driving School; Learn Fast Driving School; Senjal Driving School, Inc. – Fugoso; Senjal Driving School, Inc. – Brgy. Pinyahan; MC Driving School; SMJ Automobile Driving School – Novaliches; RNJ Driving Academy Co.; Precision Driving School – Katipunan; Jaeda Driving Institute – Valenzuela; SG7 Driving School; K Shine Star Driving School Corp. – Biak na Bato; and Qualiserve Driving School – Valenzuela.

The agency said the violations included misrepresentation in application or operations, misuse of accreditation, and failure to comply with prescribed requirements and standards.

With the revocation, the affected institutions are no longer allowed to operate as LTO-accredited driving schools.

LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Markus V. Lacanilao said the move is part of efforts to strengthen the integrity of driver education.

“Hindi namin kukunsintihin ang anumang paglabag na sumisira sa integridad ng driver education. Driver education must remain credible, and we will ensure that only compliant institutions are allowed to operate,” Asec. Lacanilao said.

He added that ensuring the quality of driving schools is essential in producing disciplined and responsible motorists.

The LTO said it will continue monitoring accredited driving schools nationwide as part of its road safety and accountability measures.
