Educational Goals of a Highly Desirable Elementary Learning Institution: Stakeholders’ Perception

This study examined the qualities that teachers, pupils, and parents value in a basic elementary school. Using a descriptive design, data were collected via online surveys in 2019 (pre-pandemic), 2021 (during the pandemic), and 2022 (post-pandemic) involving 1123 pupils, 754 parents, and 64 teachers. Results, analyzed using central tendencies and the Kruskal-Wallis test, showed consistently high desirability across all educational goals. No significant differences were found across stakeholder groups or years, indicating a shared focus on holistic learner development—particularly in values and attitudes, interpersonal skills, and non-academic intelligences—while maintaining strong support for academic quality.
