THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Background of the Study

Infectious disease was identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in

December 2019 as pneumonia of unknown origin. The virus outbreak is rapidly

spreading not only in China but also throughout the world. The World-Wide

Organization has announced it as a pandemic on March 12, 2020. The globe is now

facing the pandemic of the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

As the pandemic hits the world, governments all around the world have

implemented public health measures to counteract the risk of disease spreading. These

initiatives include limiting travel, social isolation, forbidding public gatherings, closing

schools and businesses, requesting that individuals work from home, curfews, and

lockdowns. These measures have a detrimental global impact on commerce, health,

tourism, and especially education. Authorities have imposed a lockdown or curfew in a

number of nations to stop the spread of COVID-19. The pandemic has forced many

institutions and colleges around the world to convert to online classes instead of

continuing classroom teaching.

 After a long run of COVID-19, people are adapting again to the normal phase. On

September 2021, the Philippine Government allowed a pilot run of limited in-person

schooling in low-risk areas. Some schools had reopened on a small scale. Public health

and safety measures are strictly implemented and followed to keep every child and every

teacher safe.

Maintaining students’ health while the students are in school is crucial. Student

health affects learning. Healthy students are more likely to attend class and be better able

to concentrate in class, resulting in improved test scores and more academic success.

Students who are unhealthy have a larger probability of experiencing issues at school.

Poor health increases the like hood of academic failure, grade retention, and dropout for

students. Academic success and student health have a complicated relationship.

As the students interact together, there is a huge possibility that contagious

diseases will be created and will circulate in school. The students play a vital role in the

school community in spreading contagious illnesses. The more interactions that the

students will have with each other, the more likely to increase the risk of getting infected

by different kinds of viruses in school, which easily causes the outbreak of infectious

diseases, especially respiratory such as coughs and colds.

Upper respiratory diseases are the leading source of morbidity among students

with substantial direct and indirect costs to the environment, but their influence on

elementary, junior high, and senior high students, and even the faculty and staff are

getting recognized. This study aims to reduce the impact of contagious viruses on the

students, and staff’s physical and mental health.

 

Statement of the problem

The Filipino-Turkish Tolerance School is experiencing an expansively spread of

various diseases in the school. This study aims to understand the impacts of being

infected by a disease on both the physical health and mental health of the students, and

staff of Filipino-Turkish Tolerance School. The following questions will be addressed:

1. How to lessen contagious diseases in school?

Significance of the study

The findings of this study may provide the following benefits to the students and

staff of the Filipino-Turkish Tolerance School.

First, it is to provide empirical and reliable information regarding the different

contagious diseases that are spreading around the four corners of the Filipino-Turkish

Tolerance School. They will gain a thorough understanding of the subject as a result.

Second, this primer would provide knowledge concerning the impacts of the

contagious diseases dispersing around the premises of the Filipino-Turkish Tolerance

School.

Lastly, it will give the students an idea of the things that they can do to end the

spread of infectious diseases in school.

Scope and Delimitation

 The research sample is bounded within the premises of one (1) selected private

school in Zamboanga City, namely Filipino-Turkish Tolerance School.
