SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FORUM

he Senior High School students forum was conducted to all grade 10 students
of Carmen NHS on September 9, 2015. It was organized by Mr. Adel R.
Cambangay, Jr. with the active support of Mrs. Celia A. Castillo, the Schools
Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Manolita C. Salagunting, the SHS Coordinator and all the
dynamic advisers of Grade 10 level. The forum was graced with the highly proficient
speaker of the k-12-SHS Program, Mrs. Cely Labadan, the assistant to the Principal.

he forum was divided into three parts; the first part was the talk proper as
delivered by the assistant to the principal, then the open forum part where
students were free to express themselves and ask questions and the final part
was the answering of the K to 12 Survey Questionnaires for Students. The
survey will be used to assess in considering the SHS Tracks and Strands offerings of
the school.
he Grade 10 students were divided into 2 sessions of 4 sections per session.
The first group started at 8:00am to 10:00am with Grades 10 Del Rosario,
Dingel, Flores and Yldefonso. The second group from 10:am to 12:00nn
with Grades 10 San Juan, Zara, Alcala and Yldefonso. Every session started
with a prayer, the singing of National Anthem, a welcome message and introduction
of the speaker by the Grade 10 Level Chairman, Mr. Adel R. Cambangay,Jr.

t was observed that during the talk, the students listened interestingly and
responded actively to the relaxed and friendly atmosphere set by the speaker.
There were questions asked by the students during the open forum in which the
speaker was able to answer satisfactorily and students were clarified of the cobwebs
that boggle their minds concerning their future in the Senior High School.

Table 1 shows the number of students attended the forum per section and the
expected number of attendees as shown in the LIS enrolment column. It is noted that
there were no students from the OHSP-Open High School Program which is an ADMAlternative Delivery Mode since the forum was conducted on a weekday when these
students were on their respective jobs.

Figure1 shows the responses of the students in the question whether they are
going to college or not. Almost all of the students are eager to go to college and those

who are not going to college have varied reasons like; parents could not afford to
send them to college, lack of interest in pursuing their studies and they wanted to
work after graduation to help support the financial needs of the family.

Figure 2 denotes insignificant difference whether the students are considering

the private school over the public high school in the choice of school for the Senior

Figure 3 shows the responses of the grade 10 students when asked who will
decide which track they are going to pursue in Senior High School. The parents, both
the mother and the father has the decision over the mother alone, nor the father alone
nor the students themselves. Other choices being the teacher and the guardian is not a
consideration of the decision making in choosing the track which may affect the
future of the students.

Figure 4 tells us that most of the parents are considering the Academic track
over the TVL-Technical Vocational Livelihood track for their children which means
their children will enroll in a college course after the 2-year Senior High School.

Though parents have chosen the academic track for their children,
however, the results as shown in Figure 5 signify that they are considering the
GAS-General Academic strand.

Students responses of their own choice of track to take up in the Senior High
School slightly differ from the choice of their parents as shown in Figure 6 on the
previous page. However, the academic track is still the main choice of more than
half of the students who responded.

Figure 8 shows the factors that may affect the choice of track and strand of
the students. More than half of the student who responded denotes the importance
of employment opportunities in the consideration of choosing the best track and
strand for them, apparently followed with significant difference by financial and
interest factors respectively. Life work values and aptitude are not considered.

CONCLUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

he survey questionnaires for the Grade 10 students who will be the first
batch of the Senior High School implementation of the K-12 program of the
Department of Education verified the pulse of the students as well as the
parents how prepared they are and how they will go through the process of
choosing the career path for their children.

he results shows vital information for the administrators as well as the

teachers especially the advisers that parents as well as students still needs
thorough enlightenment and guidance in the actualization of their chosen

track and strand. It is evident in the result that GAS-General Academic Strand
came out as the choice of most parents and students which means they are still not
so sure and feel safe in the GAS choice because they understand that they can still
proceed to a course in college whenever they realize the course fitted for them.
Parents as well as students make some distance to choose TVL-Technical
Vocational and Livelihood track in the fear that they might want to proceed to
college and become professional someday but they cant push it through because
they are confined to their choice which is work after Senior High School.

O
I

ther considerations which the program deemed as important like the

interests, inclinations and skills of the students were not given a thought by
the parents and the students due to other concerns which the parents and
students capitalized like financial and other practical reflections.
t is therefore recommended that supplementary activities on guidance and
counseling among other things be provided both for parents and students to
eliminate the cobwebs of doubts and other uncertainties that might affect the
decision in choosing the best for their children as for parents and the appropriate
career for students which will help them in building a secure and resilient ground
work for the real life ahead.
