ASSESSMENT OF THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ADOPT-A SCHOOL PROGRAM IN TERMS OF THE AREAS OF SUPPORT IN THE TWO DISTRICTS OF PAGBILAO, DIVISION OF QUEZON

This study investigated the status of the Adopt-A-School Program in terms of areas of support, implementation, factors affecting the sustainability of the program, and its impact. Using descriptive research, a survey was conducted among the school heads and teachers from the two districts of Pagbilao, Division of Quezon who were chosen to answer the questionnaire. An interview was also conducted among selected beneficiaries of the Adopt-A-School Program. Frequency, percentage, weighted mean and t-test were used as statistical treatment. Results revealed that the Adopt-a-School Program is strongly supported in terms of infrastructure and equipment, learners and teaching and non-teaching personnel support. Planning, organizing, designating, and transparency were found very satisfactory as there is collaboration among stakeholders. However, availability of target stakeholders in the community and knowledge of other organizations’ policies and services affect its implementation. The impact includes the improvement of physical facilities and attainment of healthy school-community relations. School heads and teachers had very similar perception with regard to all of these.
