INTRODUCTION
The net enrolment rate (NER) is one of the most significant education indicators. Filipino parents signify education as one of the most important gifts they can impart to their children. They believe that having a better education gives opportunities that would ensure a good future and eventually lift them out of poverty. In this study, there was a fluctuating enrolment from 2013 to 2016. The researchers did some interventions needed to increase the enrolment but unfortunately, it failed due to some circumstances.
