 I. CONTEXT AND RATIONALE

The Gulayan sa Paaralan was issued and implemented through DepEd Memorandum

No. 293, s. 2007. This was one of the sub-programs of the National Greening Program. It

aims to promote the production of foods that are rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamin A,

and iron as a major input in school feeding. The main objective of this program is to promote

food security in schools and communities through self-help food production activities and

values among learners, and appreciation of agriculture as a life support system.

As stated in the study by Rosales (2019), Gulayan sa Paaralan Program was not

clearly disseminated to all the school administrators especially in far-flung areas as both

teachers and school heads focus their energy on other programs of the DepEd such as Brigada

Eskwela, Teachers Month Celebration, Disaster Preparedness, Gender and Development,

Sports Competition and among others. The issue that needs to be addressed is the

implementation of this program to help the learners in their journey to education.

The researchers aim to assess the status of the implementation of the Gulayan sa

Paaralan Program in Kalubihon High School for the School Year 2022-2023. This will focus

on the activities, management support, processes, and problems face during the

implementation.
