Improving attendance of Lugay-lugay Central School learners through Byaheng Kaalaman Project

This action research investigated the effectiveness of the ByahengKaalaman Project in improving attendance at Lugay-Lugay Central School, Cotabato City. On the first day of classes (January 6, 2025), attendance was only 72%, prompting the implementation of the ByahengKaalaman Project, which included literacy and numeracy support, WASH promotion, child protection initiatives, feeding activities, and incentive programs. Post-intervention data (March 28, 2025) revealed a significant increase in attendance to 98%, demonstrating the positive impact of the multifaceted intervention. This study highlights the importance of comprehensive, context-specific interventions to address absenteeism and improve learner outcomes.
