The total population of the partner school served as the respondents of the study. Purposive sampling was utilized to determine the improvement of 30% learners with learning difficulties in Mathematics. To define the value of the program, the self-made Pre-Assessment and Post-Assessment Test by the Math teachers of the leader school were used.

RESULTS

One Way ANOVA was applied to measure the effectiveness of this program. The calculated p-value are 2.36E-12, 1.24E-14, 5.54E-12 and 1.84E-09 for Grade 7 -Grade 10 respectively which showed that there are significant differences in the performance among the 8 sections of the partner school after the implementation of the School-to-School Partnership Program.
