The Impact of Sub-Parenting Program on PARDO

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Department of Education has a mandate to implement the Education for All (EFA) goals that requires all the children to be in school at the age suited to them. However, there are cases in which a learner could not benefit in such program because of some circumstances. A (PARDO) Pupils at Risk of Dropping Out case has inspired the researchers to conduct a study on how this PARDO can be saved.

METHODS

A case study was conducted which focused on a single client who showed manifestations of a PARDO case. The researchers got an approved intent letter for the school head and started the program. The guardian of the client was invited and the problem was addressed. Form 2 was used to prove the low attendance of the pupil and a survey form was filled out that showed negative behavior of the client. A memorandum between the guardian as the client’s parents were separated. The teacher and the Barangay officials signed. Clients behavior in school and at home was monitored and reported.

RESULTS

At the end of the three-month intervention, both parties had convened for another discussion. They both found out that the client’s negative behavior was transformed into a positive one. He no longer makes trouble in the class and his attendance records have improved. These improvements continued until the school year ended.

DISCUSSIONS

Teachers are the sub-parent of children in school. The results of this research showed how a teacher's unconditional love, care, and concern make pupils feel a sense of belongingness.
