the Philippine education, especially at the
elementary and secondary levels. For
example, the results of standard tests
conducted among elementary and high school
students, as well as in the National College of
Entrance Examination for college students,
were way below the target mean score.

9. The numbers for the overall MPS
for the school year 2011-2012 are
as follows:
 Grade 3: 57.0%
 Grade 6: 66.8%
 High School: 48.9%

10. For Grade 3: National Average : 57.0%
 Schools that are outside the town proper have
an MPS of 61.4%
 Schools were Pupil-Textbook Ratio in English
Grammar is 1:1 have an MPS of 62.1%
 Schools that have individual reading have an
MPS of 59.7%
 Schools where quizzes are regularly given have
an MPS of 60.3%

11. For Grade 6: National Average: 66.8%
• Schools that do not have computer laboratories have an
MPS of 79.3%
• Schools that have adequate textbooks in Math have an
MPS of 73.0%
• Schools where teachers discuss the lesson the whole
period (chalk-talk method), then ask questions if there is
remaining time have an MPS of 67.7%
• Schools where quizzes are regularly given have an MPS
of 68.4%

12. For High School: National Average: 48.9%
• Schools where pupils are not engaged in labor have
an MPS of 51.9%
• Schools where teachers present first the
concept/theory followed by a variety of examples
and/or situational roles and then application
concept have an MPS of 52.3% in Science (to be
compared with the national average of 40.5%). A
similar correlation is found in Math and English.

13. In addition, the following factors have also been
found to correlate positively with MPS:
• Single shift schools
• TEEP (focus is given on providing resources
(classrooms, textbooks, teacher training) in the
early years of education) This correlation is
observed even with the high school scores, clearly
demonstrating the long term effects of the
program.
