Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The researchers have noticed some cases of discrimination against the LGBT students at Marcial B. Villanueva National High School and even at the nearby private schools of San Francisco, Quezon province. Some of them just stopped schooling because they do not want to conform to school rules and regulations. The researchers push through a research study to investigate the prevailing issues and ended up the gendered school uniform and hair -length restrictions for the LGBT students at Marcial B. Villanueva National High School. The main objective of the reform is to increase the LGBT students' level of engagements on school activities at Marcial B. Villanueva National High School upon the implementation of the Project SUHRe.

 

METHODS

This research study used quantitative and qualitative methods of research. Baraceros (2016) defines quantitative research as, "A way of making any phenomenon or any sensory experience clearer or more meaningful by gathering and examining facts and information about such a person, thing, place, or event appealing to your senses.” However, the qualitative method of research is defined as "a subjective approach of research to be employed by means of verbal language" (Baraceros, 2016).

Specifically, it utilized quasi-experimental design in the completion of this study. The quasi-experimental design was used because the respondents are identified as members of the LGBT community.

 

RESULTS

After the implementation of Project SUHRe, the study revealed that LGBT respondents attended classes regularly. Project SUHRe indeed helps increase the school attendance of the respondents. The respondents submitted their projects to the subject teachers on time. The study further revealed that the respondents complied classroom requirements on time. On extra-curricular activities, the respondents participated in extracurricular activities of the school. However, on major examination, the study revealed the respondents can only give their best in studying their lessons, especially during major examinations.

 

DISCUSSIONS

After the implementation of Project SUHRe, the respondents became free and liberated as they happily confessed the truth to the researchers. They come and go to school with a happy face. Project SUHRe encourages them to attend classes regularly and start dreaming once more about their future.
