The Problem
Introduction

Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a Conditional Cash Transfer

program of the Philippine government. It is a Poverty reduction strategy that provides

a monthly allowance to the poorest from poor to improve their health and Education

(0-18)- year old children only. It Provides cash grants to the poorest household

based on the condition of households to increase their investments to the children’s

human capital. Under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, the Department of

Social Welfare and Development provides the cash grants to the beneficiaries of

PHP 6,000 a year, or PHP 500 per month, to household for the health and nutrition

needs and PHP 3,000 per School year or PHP 300 a month for each child’s

educational expenses A maximum of three children per household is allowed.

Household-recipients has a responsibilities to maintain the attendance in school or

85 percent school attendance, so that in order to remain a beneficiary of 4Ps

program.

This study determine the Academic Performance and School Attendance of

the Students of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. According to RCC Fernandez

et.al. (2014). The Study examined the relationship between poverty and child labor in

the Philippines. It investigated how school attendance of working children relates to

poverty incidence covering the period 2008-2012. It determined the relationship

among poverty, prevalence of child labor and the number of working children not

attending school. Poverty displaces these children from school. School children are

2
enticed to participate in the labor force because of the short-term income. It is

evident that children have taken on the responsibility of increase the household

incomes and proving the needs of their households.

To address this Problem the Philippine government implemented the social

assistance program known as the Conditional Cash Transfer Program (CCT). This

cash transfer program was renamed by the government and is now known as the

Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4P’s), with the Department of Social Welfare

and Development (DSWD) as the lead agency in championing the poverty alleviation

strategy program of the government. This study beneficial to the School and Society

since it is helpful for future purposes. The program helps the poor Families to budget

their money for the Educational expenses, Health and Nutrition needs.This study is

to determine the Academic Performance and School Attendance of Pantawid

Pamilyang Pilipino Program.

Theoretical Framework

Academic Performance is undoubtedly a research after the heart of education

managers. It is attempt to explore, what determines academic performance

outcomes of learners, they have come with more question than answer. In a recent

time, (e.g..,Aremu & Sokan, 2003;Aremu and Oluwole, 2001; Aremu.2000). The

primary literature has shown that learners outcomes namely academic achievement

and academic performance have been determined by different variables the Family,

School, Society, and Motivation factor. According to Parker, Creque et.al (2003)

3
noted that much of the previous have focused on the impact of demographic and

socio-psychological variables on academic performance. (e.g., Aremu & Sokan;

Aremu 2004), Another emerging dimension to the determinant of academic

performance is government factor. Despite of the seeming the comprehensive of

literature on the determinants of academic performance of learners, there seems to

be more interest to investigated. It becomes obvious in outlook of the interest of

researchers and Educational managers; and continue attention of government and

policy makers and planners.
