Abstract:

Few schools have been offering Technical, Vocational, and Livelihood (TVL) tracks, particularly in North Cotabato. One of the means to address this challenge is by offering the TVL track at Olandang National High School (ONHS). For this reason, the study was conducted to determine the viability and capacity of ONHS in the Offering Technical, Vocational, and Livelihood (TVL) Track. Specifically, it determined the feasibility of ONHS in managing TVL Track, market demand, financial, and structural aspects; the level of interest of the respondents in the four TVL strands; and the stakeholders' perception of offering TVL Track. It also determined if there is a significant difference in respondents' perception towards the implementation and sustainability of the proposed TVL Track across geographical areas. Utilizing a descriptive research design, it employed three sets of questionnaires: one was responded to by ONHS teachers and staff, the second by grade 10 students, and the third by community stakeholders. The data were analyzed using weighted mean and ANOVA. The study revealed a high feasibility extent of the capacity of ONHS to offer TVL track, particularly in management and market demand. The students expressed priority interest in TVLICT. Community stakeholders believed a high feasibility that offering TVL track would contribute to the sustainable development of their locality. For proper implementation of the TVL Track, the strategic plan developed emphasized strengthening the capacity of ONHS in all aspects of the program.
