Project EDMARO (Employing Detailed Means of Reaching Out): Intensifying Parental Engagement in School

The mean percentage score (MPS) for the final two quarters of this academic year, 2022-2023, shows that the students in Technical Vocational Education specializing in Carpentry and Masonry class had low performance, as evident in their mean percentage score (MPS) for the first and second quarter.Thus, it is essential to increase parental engagement through Project EDMARO (Employing Detailed Means of Reaching Out) to assist students in improving their academic performance in the specialization mentioned above.The ten parents of the identified Grades 8, 9, and 10 students who attained a GPA of less than 80% in Technical Vocational Education in the second quarter of the academic year 2022-2023 participated in this study.Descriptive and pattern coding was explicitly used to condense the respondents' responses.Additionally, thematic analysis was used to examine the data acquired from the in-depth interview.The result shows that through project EDMARO, parents were informed of their child's academic performance, established an immediate intervention, monitored their child's academic performance and progress, and helped them improve their academic performance.However, the parents suggest translating the communication letter into vernacular language and having parents be oriented about the project EDMARO.
