For Secondary Education, Tuburan has four ( 4 ) Government National High Schools and one Private High School, namely : Tuburan National High School in the poblacion area and the Barangay National High Schools of Putat, Colonia and Montealegre. The St. Anthony’s Academy is a private Catholic School.
