Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The conditional cash transfer (CCT) program locally known as (PantawidPamilya Pilipino Program), or 4Ps, is a government program that provides conditional cash grants to the poorest of the poor in the Philippines. The programs aim to break the cycle of poverty by keeping children aged 0-18 healthy and in school, so they can have a better future.

There are many factors, which account for the good or poor academic performance in secondary schools like; the quality of students admitted the type of scholastic materials available in the school and home environment, the methods of teaching, the nature of administration and teachers involved in academic matters.

However, it seems that the most important factor to be considered in the academic performance of students is being a 4P's member. In fact, there is no recent study conducted in ETTMNHS about the effects of 4P's to the academic performance of selected senior high students so, the study is novel.

The researchers chose this topic for research to find out the benefits of 4P's to the academic performance of selected senior high students of the said school
