THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

The pursuit of universal education is a cornerstone for societal

development, and the enrollment rate in senior high schools plays a pivotal role
in achieving this goal. Balibago Integrated High School, like many educational
institutions, faces unique challenges that influence its senior high school
enrollment rates. Understanding these factors is crucial for devising targeted
interventions and policies that can enhance enrollment and ensure equitable
access to education. This research aims to explore and analyze the
multifaceted elements influencing the enrollment rate at Balibago Integrated
High School's senior high school level.

Balibago Integrated High School serves as a microcosm where various

socio-economic, demographic, and institutional factors converge to shape the
educational landscape. Socio-economic factors such as income levels, parental
occupations, and household dynamics have a profound impact on a student's
decision to pursue senior high school education. Additionally, community
perceptions, cultural beliefs, and the availability of support structures further
contribute to the complex web of influences shaping enrollment rates.

PRACTICAL RESEARCH

Demographically, the student population's composition, including gender

distribution and age demographics, can significantly impact enrollment patterns.
Understanding whether certain groups face barriers or exhibit distinct
enrollment trends is essential for crafting inclusive policies that cater to the
diverse needs of the student body. Furthermore, exploring the influence of
geographical location and transportation accessibility is critical, as these factors
can create disparities in enrollment rates among different regions within the
school's catchment area.

Institutional factors, including the quality of education, availability of

resources, and the effectiveness of outreach programs, are instrumental in
shaping enrollment rates. The school's reputation, curriculum offerings, and
extracurricular activities contribute to its overall appeal to potential senior high
school students. This research will delve into the specific institutional factors
that either facilitate or hinder enrollment, shedding light on areas that may
require improvement or enhancement.

As the global landscape of education undergoes continuous

transformation, it is imperative to scrutinize the factors affecting senior high
school enrollment in Balibago Integrated High School. This research seeks to
provide actionable insights that can inform educational policymakers, school
administrators, and community stakeholders about the dynamic interplay of
influences impacting enrollment rates. By addressing these factors, we aim to
 Balibago Senior High School

contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and accessible senior high school
education system, ensuring that every student in Balibago Integrated High
School has the opportunity to pursue their educational aspirations.

Background of the study

Education serves as the foundation for individual and societal

development, and the enrollment rate in Senior High School (SHS) plays a
crucial role in shaping the future of students. This study aims to delve into the
factors influencing the enrollment rate of Grade 11 students at Balibago
Integrated Senior High School.

The transition to Senior High School represents a critical phase in the

academic journey, and understanding the determinants of enrollment can
provide valuable insights for educational policymakers and institutions.
Balibago Integrated Senior High School, as the focal point of this research,
offers a unique context for examining the multifaceted factors that contribute to
enrollment patterns.
 Balibago Senior High School

PRACTICAL RESEARCH

Several elements may influence enrollment, including socio-economic

factors, educational policies, parental involvement, and students' perceptions
the benefits of SHS education. By comprehensively examining these factors,
this study seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges and
opportunities that impact the enrollment rate in Grade 11 at Balibago Integrated
Senior High School.

This research is essential not only for the specific school under
investigation but also for informing broader educational strategies to enhance
enrollment rates, ensuring that all students have equitable access to quality
senior high school education. Through a detailed exploration of these factors,
this study aims to provide actionable recommendations that can contribute to
the improvement of the overall enrollment landscape in Senior High School.

PRACTICAL RESEARCH
Because of the factors affect of the enrollment rate in the this school
year. In this study was supported by the study of Sarah Antwi's intitled
"Analysis of Enrollment, Retention, Completion, and Attrition Rates of Regular
and Distance Learning Students in the Masters Education Programmes at
KNUST" (Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science and Technology, 2021)
provides insights into the factors influencing enrollment rates in educational
programs.Antwi's study highlights the significance of socioeconomic factors,
accessibility, school facilities, and academic performance in determining
enrollment rates.The study suggests that students from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds may face barriers to enrollment, such as financial constraints and
limited access to educational resources. Additionally, Antwi's research
emphasizes the importance of accessible schools

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents the different literature and studies both local that
support the analysis of the study.
 Balibago Senior High School

PRACTICAL RESEARCH

Local studies
Based on Abbie Cohen,(2023) argues that the current enrollment
decline should not be a surprise. The underlying causes have festered for
decades. Among these causes is the tension between the different purposes of
public schools. Those who see schools primarily as a means of social mobility
have promoted a variety of school choice initiatives. These efforts have pulled
resources out of traditional public schools, making it more difficult to reduce
inequality and prepare all young people for participation in a democratic
society. The shortcomings of public schools, particularly in urban communities,
have fed a growing mistrust of schools, which leads more families to seek other
options. These trends put at risk public schools’ ability to serve the public good.

According to Dee, T.S. et al.(2021) The COVID-19 pandemic has

profoundly disrupted schooling nationwide, raising serious concerns about the
impact of the pandemic on childrens learning, the ways online learning may be
exacerbating racial inequities, and the need to balance the strong desire for in-
person learning with the risks posed by the pandemic. To date, these debates
have centered around the experiences of children still enrolled in public
schools, either remotely or in-person. Relatively less has been written about the
experiences of the missing childrenthose who have not enrolled in public school
at all.

PRACTICAL RESEARCH
According to Francisco A. and Makoto Tanka (2019).While the literature
acknowledges the importance of transport infrastructure and improved
connectivity to economic growth, a less explored aspect is how these
investments impact human capital. This paper seeks to address this gap by
evaluating the impact of the Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) policy -a policy that
allowed for a more efficient mode of inter-island transfer within the country -on
school attendance in the Philippines. Using a difference-in-differences strategy,
we compare the school attendance of children in municipalities near the Ro-Ro
and the non-Ro-Ro ports over the span of ten years.

According to Gamboa (2021) aaserts that the alarming numbers of

drop out caused by the pandemic “exacerbate an already existing high number
of out of school youth which has been established at 3.5 billion in 2017.

According to Giustinelli and Pavoni (2018 ). High school students all

over the world encounter problems on finding the right career path and program
that will suit their personality and skills or raise awareness on their academic
track. Students commonly display limited awareness and substantial belief
ambiguity, especially regarding lower-ranked options thereby showing
significant heterogeneity in students’ initial knowledge and learning patterns
across demographics and socioeconomic characteristics Several studies have
identified various factors that influence students’ SHS track preference.

According to Goksen (2018) Transferring to another school, leaving for

an extended period of time, and being rejected for admission can also be
regarded as dropping out of schools.
 Balibago Senior High School

PRACTICAL RESEARCH

According to Golez, (2018) Some have linked this high dropout rate to
the “ill-planned” and “haphazard” implementation of K–12 education. According
to data, 3.8 million Filipinos, or 1 in 10 of those within the ages of 6 and 24, did
not go to school in 2016. 53% of the 3.3 million people in this age group, who
should already be in senior high school or college, come from the poorest
families. They are between the ages of 16 and 24.

According to Golez,(2018),One contends, however, that millions of

people continue to be denied of their right to education, even if the state “brags”
about the growth in net enrollment in elementary and high schools. Some
potential causes for dropping out include: the distance between schools, lack of
a school in the barangay, lack of regular transportation, high cost of education,
illness or disability, housework, marriage, employment or seeking employment,
lack of personal interest, inability to handle schoolwork, issues with academic
records, and insufficient family income to pay for a child’s education.

According to Henciar & Madzik (2018) Academic institution sought to

artner the requirements of the costumers prospective students and other clients
like industry artners when preparing an educational program.

According to Hernando and Malipot, (2018). The K–12 program,

according to the Department of Education, has steadily increased the number
 Balibago Senior High School

PAGE

PRACTICAL RESEARCH
of dropouts who returned to their studies. Since senior high school began in
2016, the number of students who have returned to school has increased by
half, from 158,000 to 370,000, according to a positive trend in the K–12
enrollment data.

Jeminez, E. et al (2021) To overcome market failures due to externalities

or lack of an effective credit market, countries often try to improve access to
education by providing more public school places. However, if there is already
an active private sector, then some of the public expansion may draw away
students who may have gone to school anyway. This would attenuate any
efficiency gains. This paper estimates this crowding-out effect for the
Philippines, a country with a large private education sector. Using regional data
over the past 10 years, we estimate that the large expansion in the public
secondary education sector is negatively associated with private secondary
enrollment. The range of the response is around four or five fewer private
school students for an increase of 10 public school students. On the other
hand, the crowding-out effect is insignificant at the primary and tertiary levels.

According to Jüttler, et al. (2021) found that students’ interest, career

goals, and perceived benefits of the track were the primary factors that
influenced their track preference. The study found that students who had a
genuine interest in a particular track were more likely to choose it. The study
also found that students who saw the potential benefits of a track, such as
employment opportunities and earning potential, were more likely to choose it.
 Balibago Senior High School

PRACTICAL RESEARCH
According to Lamela (2021) This study focused on the track preference,
factors that affect the choice of track of incoming senior high school students
and the extent to which these factors influence their track preference.
Descriptive quantitative survey was used to gather data from 269 randomly
selected Grade 10 students enrolled in the seven public secondary schools in
Mandaon. Data were analyzed using frequency, ranking and weighted mean.
Findings revealed that most of the students prefer Academic Track over other
tracks. There were various factors in varying extent affecting the track
preference of the students. Work opportunity, family income, aptitude, interest,
school performance and facilities are highly influential factors, while parents
and teachers aremoderately influential and peers are slightly influential. Result
imply that students’ choice of track is directly influenced by both external and
internal factors.

According to Lorenz et al. (2020) found that academic performance, peer

influence, parental guidance, and career aspirations were significant predictors
of students’ track preference. The study found that students with high academic
performance tended to choose academic tracks, while those with lower
academic performance preferred TVL tracks. The study also found that peer
influence and parental guidance played a crucial role in shaping students’ track
preference. Students who had peers and parents whosupported their preferred
track were more likely to choose it. Moreover, career aspirations also
influenced students’ track preference, with students who had clear career goals
more likely to choose tracks that aligned with their career aspirations.
 Balibago Senior High School

PRACTICAL RESEARCH
A study by Lu, et al (2021) found that the availability of resources and
opportunities was a crucial factor that influenced students’ track preference.
The study found that students who had access to resources and opportunities
related to a particular track, such as equipment and facilities, were more likely
to choose it.

According to Pafili & Mylonakis (2019) the choice of career of the

studenys is being influenced by some factors from the social environment
mainly the parents as immediate family who play are active role in choosing
right education for third children.

According to Selda (2019) Some researchers defined this issue as failing

to attend class for two weeks in a row in one admission; while some defined
this as failing to enroll in school despite having reached the mandatory school
age.

FORIEGN STUDIES

A study by Chen (2018), found that school’s efficient use of facilities,

campus security, status of the school’s surrounding and effective management
were important in selecting school

PRACTICAL RESEARCH

The competition among senior high schools requires each school to

compete and stand against the competition. The number of schools competing
for students causes tight competition between schools in North Sulawesi as
according to Central Bureau of Statistics the number of schools compare
students is 197 to 48,140.(Central Bureau of Statistics [CBS], 2018)

According to the Chronic Poverty Research Centre‟s (2018) submission,

many school age children are out of school or are unable to complete the basic
education. The Education for All (EFA) goals mainly address issues affecting
enrolment and retention of school age children in schools. Education for All
(EFA) is an initiative which aimed at bringing educational benefits as well as
promoting inclusive education among children of school ages. These according
to researchers have not been achieved in many countries including
Nigeria.Despite efforts by international organizations, considerable number of
children of school age in Irepodun, Kwara State still roamsabout the street
during school hours.

According to Ducan and Brooks-Gunn (2018) poverty can contribute to fall in

enrolment as well as retention in schools.

According to Estevan (2019) emphasized that in Brazil, although there is

an improvement in the quality of public school which also increase the
Enrollment.

PRACTICAL RESEARCH

According to Namukwaya & Kibirige ( 2018)factors affecting enrolment

and retention of students in schools can be studied in the context of the
people‟s livelihoods and survival strategies

The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyse higher

education institutions’ enrolment and drop-out rates within the Gauteng
province, South Africa. Large-scale secondary data from the General
Household Survey, obtained from Statistics South Africa (2018) were used.
This study’s findings show that finance, orphan-hood, transport to the higher
education institutions and, to a lesser extent, unplanned pregnancies, are some
of the main factors that affect the enrolment rate of students. This study hopes
to be useful to policy-makers, research managers and other decision-makers
within the higher education (HE) landscape
