Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study generally aimed to determine the challenges by the learners and parents in the implementation of the 4P’s and its significant relationship on learners’ profile and the challenges encountered by the respondents. Learner recipients and parent beneficiaries experienced the program's positive outcomes. Learner have not encountered any significant challenges with the program implementation regarding financial support, parental support, and medical health. Their school needs are provided for, and they receive considerable support from their parents. The only cited problem is the weak financial literacy of the parents. Meanwhile, the parents quantitatively disagreed with this sentiment of their children about budgeting. They have also pointed out that the program's financial assistance was minimal; hence they need to look for alternative sources of income. Some parents cited discrepancies in the program monitoring and recruitment system and their struggle to provide for the health needs of their children.
