Case Study on Kabankalan National High School Senior High School Offering

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

This case study was conducted to investigate the implementation of Senior High Program in Kabankalan National High School (KNHS). KNHS is one of the biggest schools in the SDO of Kabankalan City that offers senior high school curriculum. It offers three (3) academic strands: Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), and Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and two Technical Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) specializations – Cookery and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). This is the only school in the Division that offers Special Education (SPEd) to learners with disability. The school operates through the downloaded funds from Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) used for school maintenance, safety and security of the learners and school personnel. To ensure that resources from the government and other stakeholders are spent judiciously, the school crafted the School Improvement Plan (SIP) which contains the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP), Annual School Budget (ASB) and Annual Procurement Plan (APP). AIP 2023 focused on the Intermediate Outcomes (known as the 4 Pillars) Access, Equity, Quality, and Learner’s Resiliency & Well - Being, and the enabling Mechanism which is the Governance that are reflected in the Basic Education Development Plan (BEDP) of the Department of Education (DepEd). In spite of the limited resources and pressing issues and concerns the school has encountered, it has implemented the senior high school curriculum. Through the support of the internal and external stakeholders, continued technical assistance given by the personnel in the three functional divisions – Curriculum Implementation Division, School Governance and Operations Division, and Administrative Division of Schools Division of Kabankalan City, the school has provided access to learners within the school’s catchment areas.
