“…The need to belong to school among middle school students was identified to be affected more by the students' mental and physical conditions than their individual and family traits [24]. A study of school bonds among high school students concluded that for youths exposed to bad treatment, school bonding created by supportive relationships with adults in the school and participation in school clubs may be effective in reducing absenteeism and failure in school [25]. It was stated that the feeling of belonging to school among high school students may be closely associated with social exclusion [26].…”

Belonging is one of the basic psychological needs dealt with by many conceptualists. In different contexts the need to belong may be met at different levels. In this study the affiliation of 276 university students (178 females 64.5%, 98 males 35.5%) to their university was dealt with. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the students' belonging to the university and well-being levels. Students in the research group were aged from 18 to 26 years, with mean age of 20.7 and standard deviation of 1.53. The group included 111 (40.2%) first year students, 95 (34.4%) second year students, 46 (16.7%) third year students and 24 (8.7%) fourth year students. Of students, 16 (5.8%) had poor economic status, 157 (56.9%) had moderate, 94 (34.1%) had good and 9 (3.3%) had very good economic status. The data collection tools of the Belonging to the University Scale and PERMA Profiler were used along with a personal information form. Analysis in the research used the multiple regression analysis and correlation techniques. According to the analysis results, the belonging to the university subdimensions of identification, expectation and motivation had a low level and significant correlation with well-being and these three subdimensions explained 15% of well-being. Additionally, there were significant correlations determined between belonging to the university, well-being, identification, meaning and health variables. In conclusion, as the belonging to the university level increases, it is considered university students' well-being levels will increase.

“…Wills, et al (2017) have recognized how Career Technical Education relates to "higher graduation outcomes, controlling for academic, behavioural and demographic factors" which eventually impact graduation. It has also been hypothesized that "maltreated youth's connectedness" create a positive bearing on graduation (Lemkin, et al, 2018). It could be gleaned from these attempts that strategies leading to graduation success are varied and outcomes of these efforts are deemed unpredictable, if not unexpected.…”

What do annual graduation messages convey? What is the gist of the message? What common themes may be derived from these messages? These inquiries inform this study as annual graduation messages issued by the Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary are analysed. This paper recognizes the impact of each graduation message as it serves as a venue in capturing what DepEd attempts to relay to its stakeholders, particularly student graduates in the context of this paper. This study employs qualitative method using data available online. Graduation messages annually issued by DepEd are posted and accessible through online resources. Graduation messages issued from 2010-2019 are utilized in this study. Careful analysis of data reveals the following clustered themes: quality education as the key to transformation, education at the core of life’s challenges, Filipino learners transforming the future, stakeholders and learners towards a better education, and K-12 curriculum as the vehicle for success. Recognition has been given to stakeholders who play crucial roles in the education system and advocate its success. Also, social, cultural, and curricular aspects have also shaped how each graduation message is crafted and relayed to stakeholders.

“…Their academic performance tends to be poor and their cognitive development delayed. They run a higher risk of severe behavior problems, from non-compliance and temper tantrums through delinquency, violence, and other forms of anti-social behavior [17,22,23,24,25]. In contrast to physically abused children, neglected children have more serious cognitive deficits and socialization problems, and appear to display more internalizing behavior patterns as opposed to externalizing patterns [12,26,27,28].…”

“…As Lemkin, Kistin, Cabral, Aschengrau, and Bair-Merritt [23] pointed out, supporting educational success provides a great opportunity to help maltreated young people make positive progress since educational achievement and health are positively correlated. This last aspect emphasizes the importance of intervening as soon as possible to prevent behavior problems from developing or worsening.…”

“…Although improvements have been demonstrated in play behaviors, no intervention has yet been conducted to improve classroom behaviors [39]. It has been suggested in the literature [23,30,31,32,33] that supporting educational success provides a great opportunity to help maltreated young people make positive progress and halt the usually worsening evolution of these children, thus, the aim of this study is to assess a new intervention program to improve the classroom behavior of children exposed to neglect only, reducing disruptive conduct and promoting adaptive conduct. There is one behavioral modification procedure that has been demonstrably efficient in improving classroom behavior among delayed and non-delayed children and reducing disruptive behaviors in educational settings.…”

Although neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment, a review of the literature since 1980 reveals a lack of controlled child neglect intervention programs. The aim of this study is to assess a new intervention program to improve the classroom behavior of children exposed to neglect only, by reducing disruptive conduct and promoting adaptive conduct. Two matched groups were selected with children of the same ages, sex, and social class (cultural and economic level) and with mothers of similar ages. The experimental group comprised of five children suffering from neglect and no other type of maltreatment. The control group had five children not abused or neglected. All the children were in the same class at school. The percentage of time per session that each child spent engaged in disruptive behavior was measured (baseline) and was found significantly higher among neglected children. Say-Do-Say Correspondence Training was applied with the neglected children and a rapid, significant reduction in their disruptive behavior was observed (and statistically confirmed), bringing such behavior down to the level of the control (i.e., non-neglected) children. These results were maintained when the intervention was halted. We concluded that the adaptive and classroom behavior of neglected children can be improved with this non-intrusive intervention.
