10. Generally, the school heads were very competent in the DepEd’s
IPCRF core skills. They were very efficient in the management of
schools with a satisfactory school performance. This means that,
school heads who are more competent in DepEd’s Core Skills are
more efficient in their management.
Moreover, the school heads competence in DepEd’s IPCRF Core
skills was correlated to the school performance in the higher level of
pupils’ academic performance (very satisfactory and outstanding).
This means that school heads who are more competent in the
DepEd’s IPCRF core skills have more pupils with higher level of
academics performance.
