Introduction

Background of the Study

The field of Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM) is critical in modern

society, as electrical systems are pervasive and essential for various applications. From
residential buildings to commercial establishments, electrical installations power their
lives and provide the foundation for technological advancements. Therefore, it is crucial
to ensure that individuals involved in electrical installation process a strong foundation of
knowledge and skills to maintain safety, efficiency, and reliability in these systems.
(citation/reference) This study centers on assessing the level of knowledge and
proficiency in electrical installation among students at San Juan Senior High School. In
an era defined by rapid technological advancements, the competence of individuals in
this field is of paramount importance, and senior high schools like San Juan Senior High
School serve as crucial institutions where the foundations of this knowledge are
established. San Juan Senior High School, much like other educational institutions,
plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of its students and, by extension, the electrical
industry. The institution's curriculum and teaching methodologies are expected to equip
students with a strong foundation in electrical installation, ensuring their preparedness
for real-world applications and challenges. Furthermore, this study aims to delve and
underscore the critical need to assess the effectiveness of the educational system in
imparting essential skills and knowledge in electrical installation and maintenance.
Recognizing the broader societal implications of electrical knowledge, the study
acknowledges that electrical systems permeate daily lives, from powering homes to
driving industries. Ensuring the safety and reliability of these systems are of paramount
importance. A well-informed and skilled workforce in electrical installation and
maintenance not only safeguards individuals but also contributes to the efficient
functioning of society as a whole. By conducting a comprehensive examination of the
level of knowledge and skills among students at San Juan Senior High School in the
 field of electrical installation, this study aspires to shed light on the educational system's
effectiveness. This research lies in the pressing demand to bridge the gap between the
educational system and the electrical industry's requirements. The findings of this study
can serve as a basis for educational improvements and policy recommendations,
ensuring that the next generation of electricians is well-prepared and capable of
addressing the evolving challenges within the electrical field.
