Abstract

To help build a progressive nation and eradicate poverty, Education For All (EFA) must be realized. A Five Year Strategic Plan on Programs, Activities, and Projects (PAPs) for public secondary schools in the Division of La Union was the output of the methodical assessment of the different schools’ PAPs implementers. The descriptive evaluative method was utilized with the questionnaire checklists as the primary gathering tool. Respondents were the teachers, school head, school coordinator and school nurse ofPAPs. The research questions addressed the profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, highest educational attainment, length of service, training and seminars and related training and seminars to PAPs, the extent of attainment of objectives and extent of implementation of the different programs, activities, and projects. There were identified capabilities and constraints which were the basis in the development of a five-year strategic plan. Frequency counts, percentages and weighted means were utilized for the analysis of data.

The findings of the study showed that the respondents of PAPs implementing schools have a varied profile. The extent of attainment of objectives of the six PAPs ranged from “highly to very highly attained”. The extent of implementation of the PAPs is highly implemented. Based on the findings of the study, a Five Year Strategic Plan on Programs, Activities, and Projects was formulated.
