The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Parents want at least good quality of education for their children. For them, to have good

education serves as precursor to a better future; thus, choosing a good school is important to ensure

that the latter would happen. In choosing a school, there are some considerations that parents put

into account. According to researcher, “Reasons of Grade 11 Senior High School Students in

Enrolling at MVGFCI,” the factors that influence parents’ choices of educational institution for their

children in private schools are the following: satisfaction level with teacher, parent and student

relationships and positive learning environment within the private school setting.

(https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0268093042000227465; march 2, 2018).

On the other hand, parents also confer with their children before finally choosing a school for

them because their children also have consider some factors in choosing the school they want to

enroll. Students have their own demands on school such as school facilities, high quality of teacher,

and voucher. After this, the parents and children will choose the best school to enroll in.

This research seeks reasons of the students in enrolling at MVGFCI. This will benefit the

following: students, Department of Education, faculty staff, teachers, students, parents and future

researchers.

This descriptive-survey research shall gather data using the questionnaire-checklist and will

be conducted at Manuel V. Gallego Foundation Colleges, Inc. (MVGFI). The researchers shall be

Group 1 HUMSS of 12 – Socrates.

Conceptual Framework

Education is fundamental for economic growth and for the being of a population and therefore

it is in the interest of every country to develop better understanding of which factors are key players

in the nation’s educational market, If there exists one. In Malta parents do not have a choice whether

or not to send their children to school if they are of compulsory schooling age, however they can

exploit their right of choice when it comes to the type of school which their children attend. This study

embarks on an endeavour to investigate which factors influence parents to choose an indepents

school for their pertain to parents to choose this type of school. Quantitative research methods wre

employed to gather and analyse the data. The study provides empirical evidence that reasons related

to academics, safety and value community are deemed to be of the utmost importance for parents

who choose independent schools. Contrarily reasons related to convenience specifically preschool

enrolment and before and after school childcare are perceived to be the least important. Moreover

parents who sent their children to independent schools perceive the overall quality of state schools

to be fair. In addition results indicate that these parents are every satisfied with the current school

choice and those who sent their children to a different school before enrolling in the current one

reported that they were satisfied with the overall quality of the previous school. Results also show

that these parents have common socio-economic and are very satisfied with the current school

choice and those who sent their children to a different school before enrolling in the current one

reported that they were satisfied with the overall quality of the previous school. Results also show

that these parents have common socio-economic and demographic characteristic especially withy

regards to the level of education household income, household situation and employment. These

results are discussed in relation to the literature reviewed whereby consistency with international

findings is established. A set of recommendations is also presented in an attempt to presented in an

attempt to present a case for the importance of having an education system that promotes social
 9

equity and justice rather than enhance social

stratifying.(https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/2644) February 11,2019

Review of Related Literature and Studies

This section contains literatures and studies that will serve as the justification and explanation

of the study.

Foreign Literature

According to the article of International Students entitled “Factors to Consider when Choosing

a School” choosing a school is a big decision, and can easily become overwhelming. There are many

factors and variables that need to be considered when making the decision. First, cost is an important

factor to consider when choosing a school. Ask yourself if you can afford tuition if you are accepted

into a particular school. Remember to factor in the financial aid the school is likely to offer you, and

to find and apply for as many scholarships as possible. Second, when looking at schools, ask yourself

whether you'd rather be in a rural, suburban, or urban location. How far is the school from where you

would live, and does that matter to you? Does the town require you to invest in a car or will you be

able to use public transportation to access the town in which you live in. Third, some schools are

more selective than others. You may want to research the acceptance rates of colleges you're

considering before applying. More well-known colleges are generally more selective. Consider your

chances of being accepted into a well-known “name school,” and ask yourself whether you would be

happier at a lesser-known school. Although a degree from certain colleges has a lot of weight behind

it, in the end what really matters is the quality of the education you receive and the experiences you

have. Fourth, if you are travelling from another country for school, you may want to look into any

international student programs and services provided by a school. Does this school provide a variety
 14

of programs, services and activities to help with the cultural transition? Your school should have your

best interests at heart; make sure that any school you’re considering is committed to taking care of

your needs. Fifth, when choosing a school, you want to know that you will be receiving a top-quality

education, and that you will have many options available to you. Even if you’re not sure at the moment

whether graduate school is in your future or not, you may want to research the acceptance rate of

graduates. Knowing that you will have options after graduation will help lend you peace of mind.

Last, safety is one of the most important factors to consider. Over the past few years, crime has been

increasing, even on highschool campuses. When considering a high school, look into its crime

statistics and find out what steps the school is taking to ensure the safety of its students.

Local Literature

Some parents would send their kids to schools as far as the opposite end of where they live.

Living near to a school is a smart decision for both parents and children. According to “Des Arellano

2015” there are factors that influence the parents to enroll their children in near to school. Here are

the reasons, Parents can be assured that their children are in a secure and closely monitored

environment. Living close to your children’s school also gives you more opportunities to meet and

talk to their friends and classmates. It’s very reassuring to know that they’re keeping the right

company. Lastly, it encourages them to lead an active lifestyle because being able to access the

school’s sports facilities even on weekends gives them more reasons to exercise, boost their
 15

confidence and bond with friends. https://www.zipmatch.com/blog/living-near-school-smart-modern-

Foreign Study

Based on “What Parents Want: School Preferences and School Choice by Simon

Burgess, Ellen Greaves, Anna Vignoles and Deborah Wilson” they showed parents' preferences for

school attributes in a unique data set of survey, administrative, census and spatial data. Strong

parental demand for academic performance is a key element in the view that

strengthening school choice will drive up school performance. Since school choice is a widely

endorsed school improvement policy, this assumption is an important policy issue too, and the

academic and policy debates on “school choice” are both controversial and unresolved. In this paper,

the researcher contribute to this debate by offering new evidence on the nature and

and heterogeneity of school preferences. The researcher address two key questions. First, what

characteristics are families actually looking for in a school? Is the school’s academic attainment

record important, or do other factors out-weigh it? Second, do preferences differ between families in

important ways, for example by socio-economic status? The former question is important for the idea

that strengthening choice will raise standards. The latter question is potentially part of the answer to

an important fact about schooling in England. In England, children from poor families are much more

likely to go to academically low-scoring schools.

Their results show that the three main factors that families care about are academic

attainment, school socio-economic composition and travel distance. The researcher estimate
 16

average trade offs between these to be as follows: for a school that is about 400m further away

families would on average need an increase of 11 percentage points in the academic attainment

measure to be indifferent, about 1 standard deviation. Similarly, again for a school about 400m further

away, families would indifferent to nominating that school if its fraction of poor students was 7

percentage points lower, about half a standard deviation. The researcher can also compute the

preference trade-off directly between academic attainment and school composition. A 1 percentage

point increase in the proportion of poor students at a school is off-set by a 1.722 percentage point

increase in the attainment measure. So a school with a high intake of poor children can still be

attractive to parents if it performs very well academically. Given that on average poor children tend

to under-perform relative to their better-off peers, however, the school’s educational quality has to

be considerably higher to more than offset this initial detriment. Turing to the second question, our

econometric model produces potentially different trade-off values for each respondent, and indeed

the researcher would not expect families to have exactly the same preferences. the researcher show

that the distribution of trade-off values mostly overlap for the highest socio-economic quintile and the

lowest.

Local Study

Several factors may be considered in selecting school and degree program like quality

education, the people from the environment, personal choice; and accessibility of the school from

students' residences. This study entitled utilized a descriptive type of research method with

Freshman Maritime students as respondents. Findings revealed that it is the personal choice of the

students to enroll in maritime program in Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas (LPU-B)

with the support primarily from their parents wherein quality education through being known as home

of board top notchers and its standards are considered big factor for their decision. They also

believed that finishing maritime education would bring them in employment abroad which is basically

the nature of duties and responsibilities of seafarers. High interest towards the degree program is

also manifested among the maritime students. Maritime students graduated from public schools have

significantly higher chance of being influenced by people in choosing the school and degree program

and they also have significantly higher degree of interest towards the maritime program compared

to those graduated from private schools.

Research Methodology and Procedure

This section includes the Research Design, Research Instrument, Population and Respondents,

Sampling Design, Statistical Treatment of Data and Research Procedures.

Research Design

According to Shuttleworth (2008) descriptive research is a scientific method which involves

observing and describing the behavior of a subject without influencing it in any way

(https://explorable.com/descriptive-research-design), date accessed: Feb 12, 2018).. This research

shall use the descriptive-survey method in order to assess the profile of the students in terms of age

and gender. It is a descriptive research design that seeks to identify the student’s School Preference

and Reasons of choosing their school. (https://www.skillsyouneed.com/learn/research-

methods.html) The researcher will use descriptive survey, this method is very cheap and easy, where

budget is a problem, and gives an element of scale to opinion and emotion. These figures are

arbitrary, but at least give a directional method of measuring intensity. Researcher used descriptive

design to describe the school preference and reasons on Grade 10 Students in MVGFCI.

Research Instrument

The research instrument applied in this study is the researcher-made questionnaire-checklist.

A questionnaire-checklist is a list of a research or survey question asked to respondents, and design

to extract specific information. This will be used in gathering data as primary instrument. In addition

questionnaire-checklist will be used to find out what are the reasons and school preference of grade

10 students in choosing a school, every question must be answered with one answer only.

Sampling Design

In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is the selection of a subset

(a statistical sample) of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of

the whole population. (stattrek.com/statistics/dictionary.aspx?definition)

 21

The researchers will be using purposive sampling design under non-scientific research because

it is the most suitable and this research also has a purpose, and since the respondents are the grade

10 of MVGFCI and they are reachable and available during the conduct

The researchers use non-scientific sampling. Grade 10 students of Junior High School are the

chosen respondents because they surely have reasons on their school preference for their upcoming

senior highschool and also they are the completers so there is high possibility that they will transfer

to a new school. “Non-scientific research” is a sampling technique where the samples are gathered

in a process that does not give all the individuals in the population equal chances of being selected

.(https://explorable.com /non-probability-sampling).

Data Gathering Procedures

Below are the procedures the researchers shall follow in order to obtain the information needed

and for the proper conduct of the study.

1. Construction of the questionnaire checklist that will be used

2. Distribution of the survey form to Grade 10 students

3. Retrieval of all the questionnaire checklist

4. Tabulation of the data gathered

5. Analysis of the gathered data

6. Interpretation of data gathered

Statistical Treatment of Data

It is essential in all experiments, whether social, scientific or any other form. An important

aspect of statistical treatment of data is the handling of errors.(https://explorable.com/statistical-

treatment-of-data). In response to the questionnaire checklist by grade 10 junior high school students

will be statistically analysed with the data instruments of the study. The researcher will be using

questionnaire checklist in this study. Descriptive statistics such as frequency or percentage

 23

distribution and rank is considered. This will help the researchers to know their school preference

and reasons of grade 10 students in MVGFCI.

1. Percentage

Summary, Conclusions and Recommendation of the Study

This chapter presents summary of findings and data gathered with conclusions of
recommendations.

Summary of Findings

1. Majority of the respondents are females whose age is 16-17, and came from San Josef

National High School.

2. Good quality teaching is the main reason why grade 11 students enrolled at MVGFCI.

3. Majority of the respondents are satisfied on the services and facilities of MVGFCI.

4. The school canteen is the main area that MVGFCI must improve.

Conclusions

1. Majority of the respondents are 16-17 years old because it is the average age of grade11

students.

2. Majority of the respondents are females because half of the grade 11 population is female

based on the enrollment data and the researchers used incidental sampling which affected

the profile of the respondents, the gender.

3. Majority of the respondents came from San Josef National High School because it is the major

feeder school of MVGFCI and because most of its students reside at Imelda Dist., San Juan

Accfa and San Roque Sur which are near at MVGFCI.

4. Good quality teaching can be a major consideration of students in enrolling at school of their

choice because it is a clear evidence of a worth to pay school and a guaranteed learning.

5. Quality services and facilities can provide satisfaction among students because these help

them acquire learning easily and because they know profit goes to school improvement.
 30

6. Due to the meal order system through stub, lacks of staff and insufficient ventilation the school

canteen must improve to provide better services during breaks.

Recommendation

1. MVGFCI should maintain a close marketing at San Josef National High School, the major

feeder school, while it should give focus to other near schools like Lazaro Francisco

Integrated School, Imelda Integrated School and other public schools which have the

potentials to become the feeder school of the institution.

2. MVGFCI should tighten its relations to public or private schools so it would be easier for the

marketing team to endorse and to market the school.

3. Students who came from other schools and enrolled at MVGFCI who have built an

image/fame can be joined to the school to school marketing to serve as testimonials.

4. The school must have an access to other establishments/areas with a large number of people

like malls, barangays, parks etc. for visibility.

5. Regular teaching performance evaluation should be implemented to assure the quality of

teaching.

6. A school should be active in attending their teachers on teaching-related seminars and

workshops, forums for professional growth.

7. The school should know the area/s needs to improve l, this is through research result like this,

suggestion box, surveys and others.

8. There should be a consistent evaluation of service, physical condition such as ventilation and

lighting of the canteen to assure that it is conducive and provide quality service.
 31

9. Administrator/s should have a close study regarding the meal order system through stub since

meal stub was found out to be the major problem of students in terms of facility according to

two consecutive researches.

10. Further study is hereby recommended.
