Specifically, it sought to determine the demographic profile of the respondents in terms

of age, gender, job status, social status and number of siblings, impact of TRAIN Law to the

respondents in terms of social impact and psychological impact that may be conducted in

Barangay Dalahican Lucena City.

 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

Out of school is an eligible who is school dropout, an eligible youth who has received a

secondary school diploma or its equivalent but is basic skills deficient, unemployed or

underemployed. “The bigger mandate of Department of Education (Dep Ed) is to look out for

those who cannot be in school, those who dropped out of school, and those who dare not dream

of entering a school. The real mandate of the Department is to be in search of those who cannot,

in one way or another, enter the system”, Education Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC said during

the signing the memorandum of agreement with STI Education Services Group, Inc. for the 36

STI composes that will serve as Community Learning centers (CLCs) for out of school youths

(OSYs) nationwide. (Dep Ed 2015).

Moreover, one in every Filipino aged 6 to 24 years is an out of school child youth, a

survey of Philippine Statistics Authority showed. The 2016 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey

(APIS) showed the country has about 3.8 million out-of-school youth and children or about 10%

of the 39 million Filipinos aged range 6 to 24 years old. APIS is a nationwide survey that

presents data on the socioeconomic profile of Filipino families, and other information that relates

to their living conditions. It is designed to provide inputs to the development of an integrated

poverty indicators and monitoring system in the country. It covered around 11,000 sample

households. The report indicated that of the total out-of-school children and youth, 87.3 percent

were 16 to 24 years old 7.7 percent were 12 to 15 years old and 5 percent were six to eleven
years old. The proportion of out-of-school children and youth was higher among females than

males. OSCY (Out-of-School-Children and Youth) refers to family members six to 14 years‟ old

who are not attending formal school; and family members 15 to 24 years‟ old who are currently

out of school, not gainfully employed, and have not finished or post-secondary course.

The most common reason among OSCYs for not attending school were marriage or

family matters (42.3%), high cost of education or financial corners (20.2%), and lack of personal

interests (19.7%). Among females, marriage or family matters were the main reason for not

attending school with 59.3%; while it was lack of personal interests among males with 36.5%.

Nationwide about 53% of OSCYs belong to families whose income fall at the bottom 30% based

on their per capital income. (APIS, 2017).

1.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study would be very significant below because the researchers would be able to

determine the reasons and life experiences of the out of school youth in Dalahican Lucena City.

This will be helpful to the following people:

The Out of school Youth will gain knowledge on how to cope up and try some alternative

to be back in school. Also, to know if poverty is main reason that affects the condition of out of

school youth. By that we can raise awareness to the society that out of school youth, should be

treated properly and prevent discrimination.

The teachers will know the reasons why students tempt to stop their schooling and for

them to give encouragement for the out of school youth.

 Community is one of the beneficiaries of the study because if the study will work and

give impact on them they will be knowledgeable on what are the reasons and life experiences of

the out of school youth.

Parents can appreciate this study to give emphasize and better comprehension on the

reasons behind their children‟s problem.

Future researchers should notice the importance of this study in their future undertaking.

It will give help to introduce the reasons and life experiences of out of school youth.

Research Methodology

In this chapter, we discuss the research design, area of study, population, sample of the

population, sampling technique, instruments for data collection, validation of the questionnaire,

administration of the instrument and method of data analysis.

3.1 Research Sample/ Design

The researchers chose the respondents purposively to achieve the acceptability of the research as

a subject with fifty (50) respondents randomly.

Phenomenology is the study of the development of human consciousness and self-

awareness as a preface to or a part of philosophy. a philosophical movement that

describes the formal structure of the objects of awareness and of awareness itself in

abstraction from any claims concerning existence. The typological classification of a

class of phenomena.

The study of experience and the ways in which things present themselves in and through

experience. Taking its starting point from the first-person perspective, phenomenology attempts

to describe the essential features or structures of a given experience or any experience in general.

One of the central structures of any experience is its intentionality, or its being directed

toward some object or state of affairs. The theory of intentionality, the central theme of

phenomenology, maintains that all experience necessarily has this object-relatedness and thus

one of the catch phrases of phenomenology is “all consciousness is consciousness of.” In short,
in our experiences we are always already related to the world and to overlook this fact is to

commit one of the cardinal sins of phenomenology: abstraction.

Phenomenology seeks to offer a corrective to these traditions by providing an account of how the

experiencing subject and object experienced are not externally related, but internally unified.

This unified relation between the subject and object is the “phenomena” that phenomenology

takes as the starting point of its descriptive analysis.

Phenomenology is the philosophical name for the method of investigating or inquiring into the

meanings of our experiences as we live them. The method is phenomenological reflecting on

pre-reflective or lived experience. Any experience whatsoever can be studied

phenomenologically. The approach is called “phenomenological” reflection because it uses the

method of the epoché and the reduction. Lived experience is pre reflective in that it is experience

as we are in it, live through it—while not, or not yet, reflecting on it, or making sense of it, or

theorizing about it.

Phenomenological research is to described a lived experience of a phenomenon.

Phenomenological research is used to determine the whole personal life of the person, who

studying by the researcher. We are going to focused on the meaning, the meaning of the

experience, the behavior, narrative and etc.

The fundamental goal of the approach is to arrive at a description of the nature of the

particular phenomenon (Creswell, 2013)

Typically, interviews are conducted with a group of individuals who have first-hand

knowledge of an event, situation or experience. The interview(s) attempts to answer two broad

questions (Moustakas, 1994):

 What have you experienced in terms of the phenomenon? What contexts or situation have

typically influenced your experiences of the phenomenon (Creswell, 2013). Other forms of data

such as documents, observations and art may also be used. The data is then read and reread and

culled for like phrases and themes that are then grouped to form clusters of meaning (Creswell,

2013).

Through this process the researcher may construct the universal meaning of the event,

situation or experience and arrive at a more profound understanding of the phenomenon.

With roots in philosophy, psychology and education, phenomenology attempts to extract

the purest untainted data and in some interpretations of the approach, bracketing is used by the

researcher to document personal experiences with the subject to help remove him or herself from

the process. One method of bracketing is memoing (Maxwell, 2013).

The purpose of the phenomenological approach is to illuminate the specific, to identify

phenomena through how they are perceived by the actors in a situation. In the human sphere this

normally translates into gathering „deep‟ information and perceptions through inductive,

qualitative methods such as interviews, discussions and participant observation, and representing

it from the perspective of the research participant(s).

3.2 Gathering Procedures

In accomplishing this study, the following procedures or stages will be considered and

followed. They collect important information about their subject. They will also distribute flyers

to give additional information. The researchers get some websites for the information. They use
the questionnaire as an instrument in collecting data. They also get the total tally of the score of

the respondents and after they interpret the table. To determine the general acceptability of the

subject the researchers asked fifty (50) respondents.

3.3 Research Instrument

A survey form was the major instrument used in this study. The questionnaire was

prepared by the researchers this will use to give the respondents the opportunity to give their

response or point of view about the topic. Based on the collaboration of our group, we focus on

the Group Discussion and One on One Interview in our thesis research. Because in the Group

Discussion each of the member of the group is given a task to evaluate the respondent(s) and in

the One on One interview it must be (1) one Respondent and (1) one researcher to talk about

some sensitive and confidential things about their lives.

3.4 Population of the Study

The target population for this research defined to include the out of school youth in

Dalahican, Lucena City, since these subject focuses on them.

In this study, the accessible population comprised the fifty (50) selected out of school youth. In

addition, they were considered appropriate as population of the study area.

3.4 Sampling Techniques

A stratified random procedures was used for selecting the participants in this study. This

technique was employed to ensure a fairly equal representation of the variables for the study.

Proportionate stratified random sampling technique was employed to selected 50 out of school

youth to know their reasons and life experiences as an out of school youth.

3.5 Research Criteria

 Should be an out of school youth.

 Should be living in Barangay Dalahican Crossing Lucena City.

 Any sexes.

 Should be around 15 years old to 24 years old.

 Should be a high school dropout

3.6 Research Questions

This following question will be our guide on our interview with the respondent(s).

 Why did you stop going to school and study?

 Did you have any problem in your schooling that's why you stop?

 What do you think you'll going to do now that you're not studying?

 When did you stop studying? Do you felt happy or not?

 If you were given a chance to study again, will you accept it or not? Why or why not?

 Do you believe in the saying that "Education is the key to success? Why or why not?

 Why do you need to stop studying? Is it because of family or financial problems?

 CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

According to UNESCO Director General Irina Bacova “Education is a shared

responsibility between us all; governments, schools, teachers, parents and private sectors.

Accountability for these responsibilities defines the way teachers teach, students learn in

government acts. It must be designed with care and with the principles of equity, inclusion and

quality in mind”. Carla Bleiker (2017)

Education is indeed important in each individual. Education gives us a knowledge of the

world around us and changes it into something better. And develops in us a perspective of

looking at life. It helps us build opinion and have points of view on things in life and all the

youth in this world are deserving to study.

The 2013 functional literacy, education and mass media survey (FLEMMS) covered

around 36 million population aged 6 to 24 years. According to the survey, 1 in every 10 or about

4 million Filipino children and youth was out of school in 2013. Out of school children is defined

in the FLEMMS as a person‟s aged 6 to 14 years who are not attending school while out of

school youth as person‟s aged 15 to 24 years who are not attending school, have not finished any

college or put secondary course and not working.

Out-of-school children and youth in ARMM comprised 14.4 percent, which is highest

across regions. Six regions have proportion of out-of-school children and youth higher than the

national figure at 10.6 percent, namely, SOCCSKSARGEN, Davao, Central Luzon, Zamboanga

Peninsula, Caraga and MIMAROPA (ranging from 11.2 to 12.3 percent.) Meanwhile, the

proportion of out-of-school children and youth was lowest in CAR at 7.1 percent.
 In general, the proportion of persons who are out-of-school was higher among the youth

than children. Excluding CAR, the proportion of out-of-school youth across region ranged from

14.5 percent to 20.4 percent. For children, the figure ranged from 1.7 percent to 4.9 percent. In

terms of gender, the proportion of out-of-school children and youth was higher among females

than males in all regions. The 2013 FLEMMS result also showed that of the nearly 4 million

out-of-school children and youth, 22.9 percent have entered into union or marriage. Another 19.2

percent cited insufficient family income to send child to school (this refers to all educational

expenses other than tuition fee), while 19.1 percent of interest in attending school. Among

females, 4 out of every 10 have entered marriage while 3 in every 10 males have no interest in

attending school. The proportion of out-of-school children and youth whose family income was

not sufficient to send child to school was 22.7 percent and 17.0 percent, among males and

females, respectively. (PSA, 2015). “Education is the key to success” Nobody can deny the hard

fact that education is an extremely important for bringing change in the lives of individual but

not all of us were given a chance to attend a formal school.

According to the Law, every child must attend school were he/she wants. The
government should ensure and support the eeducation of every child. Thats why
the Depaertment of Education offers education to all. But this is not really applied
by other institutions for they are concern on the salary of the tecahers especially
in the private school.

Department of Education has now a program for out of school youth which is the
Alternative Leraning System(ALS) in which all the non-scholars are given
opportunity to pursue schooling. And even for those who are already married,
they can still attend this program if they want to have a certificate that will help
them find a better job. Also for those who are dropped out in elementary and
secondary schol may have a chance to attend the Tertiary level by passing the
examination.

attend a formal school.

According to the Law, every child must attend school were he/she wants. The government
should ensure and support the eeducation of every child. Thats why the Depaertment of
Education offers education to all. But this is not really applied by other institutions for they are
concern on the salary of the tecahers especially in the private school.

Leraning System(ALS) in which all the non-scholars are given opportunity to pursue schooling.
And even for those who are already married, they can still attend this program if they want to
have a certificate that will help them find a better job. Also for those who are dropped out in
