Castor V. Balacuit

Abstract


This study intends to investigate the extent and contributing factors of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) implementation in Basic Education of Public Junior High School Students in Tandag City Division which was government-aided beneficiaries. This research study was evaluated through descriptive-survey and secondary data analysis. It covers the five Public Junior High Schools of Tandag City Division with 436 total numbers of respondents. The researcher made use of the universal and purposive sampling procedure. A researcher-made questionnaire was used in the study and at the same time adapted from the study of Dr. Analiza G. Doloricon entitled: A Meta-Analysis of 4Ps in the Division of Surigao Del Sur. The usual occupation and daily work of most 4Ps parents are farming, thus, parents can still allocate budget for food and school supplies from the cash grants although Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) is not enough for recipients with big family members that leads them to pawn their cash cards. The student-4Ps beneficiaries are aided by the educational needs that helped them achieve and perform well in their academic pursuits where none of them failed in the different subjects of basic education.
