Analysis on policy implementation and institutional integration of RA 9003 SWM indicators in educational institutions

Abstract

This study attempts to assess the extent of implementation and integration of solid waste management indicators in public and private schools in General Santos in terms of waste reuse, waste reduction, waste collection, waste recycling, waste treatment, final waste disposal, and IEC advocacy/campaign. A modified questionnaire was given to the respondents which were composed of Senior High School students, Science teachers, and school administrators of one (1) private and public school. The comparative result of implementation and integration between the public and private schools revealed that both schools implement and integrate the policy on solid waste management to a great extent with a composite mean of 3.55 and 3.42 respectively. T-test result on the extent of the implementation and integration of Solid Waste Management between the two selected big schools in General Santos City showed no significant difference with a t-value of 1.03941and the p-value of 0.319106 which is less than 0.05 (p<.05). This justifies that the two public and private schools in General Santos City implements and integrates Solid Waste Management to a great extent. It is imperative, therefore, for the schools to continue prioritizing the programs and advocacies on solid waste management. The school administrators must also maintain high standards of integrating SWM in the learning process through campaigns, incentives, partnerships, organizational resources, and equity.

The reality is that almost none of these expectations are usually seen done in crisis periods even when there are ample times to conduct media campaign strategies.…”
