Abstract

This study explores the perspectives of parents whose children are participants in the “Sagip-Bata Para sa Dekalidad na Edukasyon” extension program of CSU-Andrews Campus’ College of Teacher Education at Annafunan Integrated School. The research employed qualitative methods, focusing on in- depth interview to gather insights on how parental involvement contributes to the enhancement of students' reading abilities and their overall development. The study highlights the positive impact of the program, with parents reporting improvements in their children's reading comprehension, critical thinking, and social interaction. The program's structured approach, which combines independent reading time with teacher support, has fostered greater self-reliance and motivation among the students. However, several challenges were identified, including the children’s ongoing struggles with learning difficulties, social issues like bullying, and logistical concerns such as scheduling conflicts that affect consistent participation. The research emphasizes the importance of continuous engagement between parents and the school to sustain progress and address the barriers hindering the full effectiveness of the program. The study also accentuated the need for ongoing training for both parents and teachers, as well as adjustments in the program's structure to ensure its responsiveness to the evolving needs of the students. Ultimately, the findings of this study contribute valuable insights into the role of parents in educational interventions and offer actionable recommendations for enhancing the “Sagip-Bata Para sa Dekalidad na Edukasyon” program, ensuring that it continues to provide meaningful support for students in the future.
