Stakeholders’ Participation in School Safety Protocols and Junior High School Learners’ Progressive Learning Outcomes in Sto. Niño District

Christian Lloyd Castillo | Nancy B. Espacio

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Developing safe learning environments and improving student performance depend on involvement of stakeholders in school safety. Disengagement, particularly in rural areas like Sto. Niño District, has been caused by uneven involvement resulting from a lack of role awareness and conflicting responsibilities. This study examined at how stakeholders' involvement in safety protocols impacts Junior High School students' progressive learning outcomes. Five public Junior High Schools in Sto. Niño District, Division of South Cotabato were surveyed using a stratified random sampling technique involving 378 respondents made up of Junior High School Students and parents, while total enumeration was applied involving 122 respondents for Junior High School teachers and school principals. A validated self-made survey questionnaire was utilized to evaluate stakeholders' involvement, the implementation of safety protocols, and Junior High School students' learning outcomes such as GPA, co-curricular activities, and attendance. Weighted mean and Pearson correlation were utilized to analyze the data. Results showed a high level of stakeholders’ engagement in terms of program support and attendance. Safety protocol enforcement, especially the contextualized learner protection policies and disaster mitigation management, was seen to be consistently applied. Statistically, a very high correlations were found between stakeholder involvement and Junior High School learners’ progressive learning outcomes. Thus, the active involvement of stakeholders improves the execution of school safety policies, which then affects learning results favorably. In general, to maintain safe and efficient learning environments, it is advised that school leaders increase community involvement by means of ongoing capacity-building and open communication policies.
