THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Education affects the platform by supporting and challenging students to acquire
the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to effectively achieve in school. Engaging in
this kind of socialization is necessary to have financial stability to cover their expenses
for living and to attain higher quality of learning education. Working while studying which
is the most common type of work, is driven primarily by financial needs, to meet an
immediate or critical need, to cover a shortfall in other forms of students support, to top
up income, to provide a better students experience or to help toward future goals
(Matthew Williams, researcher fellow 2014). As a student, the key to success is
recognizing the importance of time management. According to Ann logsdon (March 11,
2020) Time management can be a challenge when you are juggling work and school.
Whether you are working to put yourself through college or you are someone who is
going back to school to advance your current career, managing time in your
professional and academic life is no easy task. According to Jhoselle Tus 2020,
Academic Performance is dependent on multiple factors, two of which are stress and
motivation. It is an essential aspect for senior high school students as they are nearing
college life and because having better academic performances yield better opportunities
in life. Many researchers focus on working after graduation, but few investigate the
effects of working while in school and university. Tuition and cost associated with
attending college have recently increased in higher education. This has had an impact
on the students especially in grade 12 who are nearly graduating before entering
college life. They are primarily looking for jobs while in school to help offset some of
those costs and daily expenses.

2. As Students take greater responsibility for managing the processes of applying
their knowledge, they practice and further develop the critical skills and characteristics
that are important for work and daily life in the 21st century. These include organization,
decision-making, collaboration and teamwork, problem-solving, risk-taking, critical
thinking, creativity, adaptability and resilience.
One such program, the National Youth Administration students work program
focused on providing jobs to highschool and college students. Established in 1935, it
was the first federal program to directly aid students. At this time, it was estimated that
between one third and one half of all students were working to earn at least some
expenses.
Working while in school can lead to better labor market outcomes for students
through the accrual of work experience, professional connections, and the development
of soft skills (such as time management, communication skills, and problem-solving)
that contribute to academic and professional success (e.g., Light, 2001) However,
determining the effects of working on academic performance is difficult, as students may
endogenously choose the number of hours to allocate to work and study.
Australian Curriculum: Work Studies engages students in transferring work related
knowledge and understanding to activities that involve the world of work. Students
concentrate on learning and applying the knowledge, understanding and skills they
need to solve a problem or implement a project relevant to work or workplaces. An
organization that provides instruction for teaching students indifferent levels is also

3. known as School which is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces
and environment (Horaceman,1976). Different types of students will be encountered in
this organization, there are students who only study and not worrying about financial
problems, and there are students who choose to work while studying. Palawan National
School is the largest campus public school in Puerto Princesa. According to Dania Asis
(2021) Although working as students help you get relevant real-world experience and
crucial soft skills before entering the actual working world while also providing you with
your own source of income, there are also some drawbacks such as disrupted sleep
habits and a high level of stress. If this problem is not resolved, a large number of
working students will be excluded from the real status and opportunities to catch up and
achieve good grades and academic performances. They will not be heard by institutions
or the government about their difficulties and they will be unable to provide financial
assistance and sustenance. Also, individuals in Palawan National School were unable
to inform about rationale of working students’ living conditions, and those with authority
to guide these students were unable sustain and make adjustments toward approaching
and understanding some working students.At the conclusion of our study, we hope to
provide evidence and confirmation of the reasons why students might choose to work
while they are in school. We also hope to provide more information about the
challenges Grade 12 students at Palawan National School faced while balancing their
studies and jobs. To this end, we will collect pertinent data about the challenges that
come with working and studying at the same time and determine whether this
compromises students' academic performance.With growing tuition and living expenses,
many students may find their academic experience to be extremely stressful. According

4. to Lauren E. Watanabe of UCF in 2005, many students find themselves needing to work
while attempting to attend classes. For those who have goals and are ready to graduate
at the conclusion of the school year, this is a problem. But how can this student fulfill his
or her obligations as a student if they are splitting their time between job and study in
order to support themselves and their families? When it comes to working students'
attitudes toward their academic performances and relationships with others, it is
important to understand and not undervalue them because they may encounter
challenges and difficulties managing their academics and work. Determine the
difficulties and methods used by the working students that have an impact on their
academic performance as well as any potential affection for their chosen position
through this research.Our research contributed to the field of study and provided
information to the population of working students worldwide. The school will be able to
adapt its educational programs to meet the needs of certain students thanks to this
study, which will enhance the working students' school experience overall.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the Academic Performances of grade 12 students
and the influence of time spent in studying and working at the same time.
