Abstract

The strong implementation of school rules and regulations is very important to discipline the students inside the school. Effective implementation of school rules and regulations influence the compliance of the Grade 12 Accountancy, Business and Management students and impacts the image of the school in producing self-directed and disciplined students. This study aimed to assess the reasons behind the students’ non-compliance in school rules and regulations and how it impacts the image of Bestlink College of the Philippines. A qualitative method was used in the study. Using a descriptive research design, it assessed the four variables that compose the good image of Bestlink College of the Philippines such as Integrity, Respect, Unity, and Expectations. The data were gathered by distributing questionnaires to the respondents. The results of the study revealed that non-compliance to the school rules and regulations of Grade 12 ABM students has an impact on the image of Bestlink College of the Philippines in terms of the following: (1) Integrity –non-compliance to the school rules and regulations has an impact on the integrity of the school aiming to produce self-motivated, self-directed, and disciplined students. (2) Respect –students' non-compliance somehow showed disrespect to the school rules and regulations and the administrators. (3) Unity -students' non-compliance creates disunity. (4) Expectations –Bestlink students were expected as compliant to the school rules and regulations. Meeting the expectations of other people leads students to become role models inside or outside the school. The results demonstrate the need of the school administrators, with the help of the teachers, to review the strategies in implementing school rules and regulations and assess the level of compliance of the students. The non-compliant students must be reported to the prefect of discipline for proper counseling and guidance together with their parents to address its impact on the image of Bestlink College of the Philippines.
