Education System in Davao City

The educational landscape in Davao City is characterized by a diverse array of programs aimed at improving educational outcomes. Key findings from the referenced studies include the critical role of teacher efficacy in academic success (Bantasan et al., 2022), the benefits of the Alternative Street Education Program (ASEP) for enhancing learning among street children (Bagolong, S. P. 2015), and the positive impact of free education on student outcomes and infrastructure (Sawir, 2017). Additionally, interventions to improve reading proficiency through phonemic awareness have been highlighted, alongside the importance of professional development for teachers (Baog et al., 2023). Successful implementation of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) with supportive mechanisms and positive attitudes from teachers has shown favorable results (Abad & Galleto, 2020b).

Socioeconomic Factors and Academic Performance

The influence of socioeconomic factors on academic performance is profound. Research outlines that students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds generally exhibit better academic performance due to advantages such as financial security, flexible study schedules, and higher parental involvement (Sawir, 2017). Positive correlations exist between family socioeconomic status, cultural resources, and academic achievements (Baog et al., 2023). Addressing socioeconomic disparities is pivotal for equalizing educational opportunities and enhancing student performance (Abad & Galleto, 2020b).

Academic Achievement in High Schools

Academic achievement is influenced by a multiplicity of factors including, but not limited to, academic procrastination, socioeconomic status, gender differences, family structure, and self-efficacy. The data indicate that while academic procrastination does not significantly correlate with high school academic achievement, other factors such as socioeconomic status and academic self-efficacy are crucial predictors of success (Bantasan et al., 2022; Bagolong, S. P. 2015; Sawir, 2017; Baog et al., 2023; Abad & Galleto, 2020b). Understanding and addressing these determinants are essential for improving academic outcomes and supporting student success.

Methodological Approach to Financial Challenges and Mental Health

The present study employed a mixed-methods approach to explore the interconnectedness between financial difficulties, mental health issues, and academic performance among DCNHS students. Through surveys, interviews, and observations, the research sought to uncover the nuanced impacts of financial constraints on students’ academic experiences and mental wellbeing.

The discussion delves into how financial struggles interplay with mental health to affect academic perceptions and achievement among students. It underscores the urgent need for targeted strategies to alleviate these challenges, emphasizing financial literacy, access to resources, and mental health support as potential avenues for intervention.
