8. Rationale:
Filipino parents value education as one of the most important
legacies they can impart to their children. They believe that having a better
education opens opportunities that would ensure a good future and
eventually lift them out of poverty. Thus, they are willing to make enormous
sacrifices to send their children to school (Dolan 1991, De Dios 1995,
LaRocque 2004). However, with a poor family’s severely limited resources,
education tends to be less prioritized over more basic needs such as food and
shelter. Hence, the chances of the family to move out of poverty are unlikely.
It is therefore, important that the poor be given equitable access to education.
Ensuring that students stay in school until they complete their
education is a major concern in basic education (National Education and
Testing Research Center, 1990). Cohort Survival Rates (CSR) for the past 10
years have fluctuated between 60% and 80% in both elementary and
secondary levels(Department of Education, 2008). These statistics mean that

9. about between 20to 40% of Grade 1 pupils do not reach Grade 6; of the
60 to 75% who enter secondary school, about one-third of them do not
finish high school. If the numbers are added up, they indicate that about
half of Grade 1 pupils complete secondary level; the other half are, for
one reason or another, lost along the way.
These facts reflect a worrisome reality about the holding power
of public schools, which is further elucidated by data on dropouts. The
statistics on the national average dropout rate for each school level has
remained higher than expected (1 to 2%), sometimes as much as 2 digits.
Moreover, even if dropouts re-enter school at some point, many repeaters
eventually drop out at a later time. Re-admission seems to have little
positive effect on achievement (Finnan & Chasin, 2007).

10. Increasing government funding has not also completely
addressed the dropout problem. Despite the general increase in allocation
for education through the past years, the dropout problem remains one of
the challenges for educators. Contrary to expectation, allotting more funds
to public education did not necessarily bring about substantial reduction in
dropout rates. This is because increase in budget did not match increase in
population and, consequently, in enrollment. The per capita budget has
actually decreased through the years. The budget for basic education has
increased by 25 per cent from 2000 (PhP 80 M) to 2009 (PhP150M).
However, the real value of per capita cost has decreased from PhP6,000 in
2000 to PhP4,000 in 2009 (Department of Education, 2009). Thus,
increase in dropout rates is not surprising despite increase in the budget
because there have been more students accommodated by the public
schools than could be adequately financed.

11. Studies on dropping out have attributed the phenomenon mainly
to poverty (Barton, 2006). One extensive critical review of about 50
studies on public school education (Barsaga,1995)described dropouts as
coming from low-income families whose parents had little or no
education, and who were unemployed or had jobs that gave them little or
irregular income. The study also identified reasons for dropping out such
as poor health due to malnutrition, distance between home and school,
lack of interest, and teacher factor. It concluded that the education system
then was―socially selective‖ since most dropouts were from socio-
economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Gearing towards the success of student in the 21st century,
Puerto Bello National High School is expected to graduate from high
school; proceed to college education and be prepared for the workforce.

12. As observed, Puerto Bello National High School has a serious
problem on Drop Out rate that may affect many aspects. From the
efficiency perspective, dropout is a concern in at least two dimensions.
One, at the aggregate economy level wherein education is known to be an
important determinant of economic growth and premature dropout
means loss of potential productivity. There are two areas being affected
when drop out occurs. First, it raises the cost of achieving a targeted
proportion of the population having some level of schooling. Secondly it
is for the equity perspective. Perhaps this is the most important one.
Dropouts may appear small in number but they are preponderant among
the poor which thereupon turns the wheels of intergenerational
transmission of poverty against them. At the personal level, dropping out
of school will mean consigning one to a future of low-income trajectory.
Given a choice, one will obviously not opt for this. However, we see a
considerable number of school-aged children who are not in school and
most probably; it is not of their own choice.

13. Using data of simple dropout rate from the EBEIS of Leyte of
2013-2015, Puerto Bello National High School has an increasing
percentage of dropouts. In S.Y 2013-2014, there is 1.53% drop out rate
having total number of 6 from 391 total number of enrolment, with a
gender parity index of 0.21. 2014-2015, the school has 0.96% drop out
rate with a total number of 4 drop out of 416 from a total number of
enrolment. In 2015-2016, there is 2.58% drop out rate with a total number
of 11 out of 427 total enrollments.
Thus, Puerto Bello National High School joined hands to zero
out dropout rate.

14. Objectives:
1. To capacitate teachers to become strategic who help
reduce drop- out rate.
2. To ignite school governance and leadership to reduce the
drop- out rate.
3. To strengthen best level of practice to maintain best
school practices.

16. OUTCOME

17. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Project LOVE is based on the Guided Participation Theory of
Mascolo (2005) described a series of different forms and levels of social
scaffolding that more expert partners typically use in supporting a learner’s
development.
The Project LOVE conception is a product of Puerto Bello
National School teachers’ engagement with the stakeholders aimed to
provide assistance to uplift students’ performance in the Division of
Leyte. From the school, project LOVE will be brought to the community
leading to the development and implementation of school based projects
that address the unique needs of each learning institution.
.

18. With Project LOVE teachers, will act as prime movers in the
design and implementation of school banner project in collaboration with
education stakeholders. The design is rooted from the immediate pressing
problem of the school banked with its performance indicators.
