Rural secondary student incapacity to access the Senior High School program became a perennial problem in Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte. That is why getting a decent education is not possible for them. Thus, the study aimed to determine the challenging issues in rural secondary education in the selected Barangays of Katipunan Zamboanga del Norte. The quantitative research method was used with the help of the survey questionnaire to gather the data. The study revealed that the majority of the respondents were from rural areas. Poverty was the leading problem that the respondents faced. Thus, it is strongly recommended that government must provide senior high school programs near their locality and provide necessary subsidies such as food, school supplies, medicine, and clothing so the students not to become hesitant about going to school.
The sudden transformation of learning modality had a remarkable impact on education. Teachers and students have been facing challenges in adopting the changes in the system. Thus, the study aimed to explore students' challenges in implementing the self-directed modular learning modality. The study employed the quantitative and qualitative mixed method of research and thematic analysis technique. The study found that secondary students encountered challenges in implementing the modular modality, such as lack of access to modern technology, module content issues, family and financial matters, time management, communication with the teacher, and the teachers' unclear instruction. Thus, financial support (e.g., food, school supplies, and monetary assistance) will be extended to students to lessen stress, anxiety, and depression. The government will allocate a sufficient budget for internet connection, bending machines, and computer sets. Training and programs in line with the technical skills enhancement of the students and parents will be taken into consideration, and the JRMSU College of Education must facilitate this as an extension program.
The covid-19 pandemic brought a remarkable impact on mankind. Like the economy, education suffers a tremendous trial in the system. The shift of the delivery of instruction to self-directed modular learning had challenged both the students and teachers. Hence, the study aimed to determine the challenges that teachers and students faced in the self-directed modular learning modalities in secondary schools of the Municipality of Katipunan Zamboanga del Norte. The study employed the sequential explanatory mixed methods design and thematic analysis technique. The study revealed that teachers encountered challenges in dealing with the Self-directed Modular Learning Modality. However, the challenges met do not affect the student’s academic performance. The study strongly recommends that the implementation of the Self-Modular Learning Modality will be reviewed carefully. Coping Strategies applied in overcoming the challenges will be examined thoroughly to devise constructive inputs to improve DepEd school's existing programs and guidelines. As partner institution, JRMSU-Katipunan Campus through the College of Education with the collaboration of the Guidance office will conduct intervention programs for students and teachers. Orientation for parents on home-based learning will be conducted. Budget allocation for internet connectivity, bending machines and computer sets will be requested from the government through the barangay, and training programs in line with technological skills development for teachers will be implemented.
