HOPE (Help Obtain Proper Education)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

A better learning environment among learners and teachers must be prioritized to achieve a better school performance. In terms of managing the curriculum, it is important to be updated on the different policies and orders to be an effective resource provider for the teachers. To become successful in the implementation of the project, the principal has to take the role of both instructional leader and a manager. Determination and skills are needed to surmount whatever challenges that may arise from this project. To address this, the principal has to make a thorough survey of the learning environment. A significantly high percentage of drop-out rate was noted in the past years. Around 2.70 % or 19 out of 704 learners drop out of school by the end of school year 2015-2016. The high percentage of drop-out rate of learners last school year 2015-2016 was monitored through EBEIS data. The percentage of drop-out rate was seen on the data of grade 7 and grade 8 learners. The school performance level was highly affected due to the increase of the dropout rate.

METHODS

The success of the project can be achieved and verified through unbiased means; Increased Completion rate, Increased Cohort-survival rate, Decreased Drop-out rate. This data can be verified through the E-BEIS and LIS. Milestones are significant changes achieved; and/ or major steps taken towards achieving the desired improvement in the school. The following actions steps were undertaken to achieved desired results. Conduct rigid monitoring of attendance of each class and keep functional record of daily attendance to be monitored by adviser and subject teacher. Strengthen referral system, home visitation, anecdotal records, and close monitoring of parental follow-up. Give rewards and recognition to the students and teachers with perfect attendance during quarterly assembly. Capacitate teachers in implementing CPP and positive discipline in classroom management. Make a progress report on the implementation of positive discipline in classroom management.

RESULTS

The End of the School Year data on EBEIS showed that from 2.70 % drop out rate in SY 2015-2016, there was a notable decrease of 1.5 % in SY 2016-2017.

DISCUSSIONS

All projects are exposed to risk. Risks are unpredictable events that hamper project objectives. Therefore, it is important to know what to do when risk happens. Failure to conduct consistent monitoring of attendance due to different activities of the teachers and training schedules of the teachers are the most likely risks.
