The Sea Gypsies (Badjaos) stride in education since a large number of children not taking part in education programmes. This is due to reasons of an unjustified stigma associated with the Badjao people, which cause them to be discriminated against in school and the employment market. This study ascertained the determinants of Badjao school leavers in Cebu City, Philippines. It employed a descriptive method using the adapted survey questionnaire. Sixty-five respondents were identified using purposive sampling. The data gathered were organized and treated statistically using weighted mean, percentile ranking, and multiple regression. The findings disclosed that the Badjao respondents had perceived that personal and family factors could be the determinants why they had left school. Also, the integration and program implementation were not associated with why the respondents had left school. The respondents’ profile and their perceived reasons for leaving school had no significant relationship. Lastly, the respondents perceived reasons for leaving school. Hence, it is highly recommended that the proposed developmental plan of this study be adopted, implemented and monitored in order to help the Badjaos to finish their studies and become more responsible and productive citizens of the country.
