Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Parents who have been considered as one of the stakeholders of the school community play tremendous roles in the child's educational and environmental transformation. Thus, the intensity or extent of participation that parents have in their child's education and the school have to be realized. In this study, we implemented Project MAGKIALAM (Magulang May Pakialam) to enhance the status of parent's attendance and participation on school activities and promote a sense of responsibility and successful parental involvement at Roman Ozaeta Memorial School

METHODS

The descriptive research method is used to describe systematically, functionally, accurately a situation, problem or phenomena that seeks to answer questions to real facts relating to an existing condition.

RESULTS

Based on the baseline data, which is the minutes of the meeting, the researchers were able to organize the collected data into different tables. Table 1 shows that 40.9% are attending meetings frequently, 50.3% are seldom attending the meeting and 8.8% were not attending the meeting. Table 2 shows that 55.1% of parents were frequently attending Brigada Eskwela, 40.2% were seldom attending and 4.7% were not attending. Parents attendance in Table 3 regarding SBFP, 58.4% were not attending, 30.4% who attended seldom and 11.2% attended frequently.

DISCUSSIONS

The results indicate that still, the most numbers of the parents find time in monitoring the growth of their children in school by attending PTA meetings. Table 2 indicates that most of the parents were not supportive in Brigada Eskwela. Table 3 indicates that half of the parents were not spending time attending the School-Based Feeding Program.
