The Relationship of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4ps) to the Academic Performance of the Senior High School Students at Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial National High School S. Y. 2018-2019

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a conditional cash transfer program which provides cash to beneficiaries, household subject compliance with program conditional ties. Studies on whether this program have an impact on the academic performance of its student-beneficiaries are still limited, particularly on senior high school students. Therefore, the researchers aim to find out the relationship of 4Ps to the academic performance of selected Senior High school Students at ETTMNHS S.Y. 2018 2019.

METHODS

This descriptive correlational study involved 22 respondents selected via Systematic Random Sampling. Data were gathered using a validated researcher-made questionnaire which focuses on the respondents' demographics, academic rating, and perceived academic performance.

RESULTS

Findings show that majority of the respondents perceived that 4Ps has a positive effect on their academic performance such as providing motivation to go to school and that the financial assistance received from the government has a big help in lessening burden of spending for academic-related expenses. However, respondents were neutral on whether or not the 4Ps program has a direct impact in terms of their academic standing. The calculated Pearson R value showed that Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) has a positive correlation with the academic performance of the selected SHS students of ETTMNHS also, findings revealed that 4Ps has a significant impact on the SHS students' academic performance.

DISCUSSIONS

This research revealed that while all 4Ps beneficiaries receive the same kind of financial assistance from the government, their perception as to how it affects their studies varies from one individual to another. However, statistical analysis of the data revealed that basing one's academic performance on his/her academic grade would bear positive correlation with 4Ps beneficiaries. This finding shed light for the government to continue the implementation of the program as it has a direct benefit for student-beneficiaries to not only continue in their studies but to excel in their academics as well.
