Abstract

This study aimed to determine the Academic Performance of

Grade 12 students with parents who are Overseas Filipino

Workers along knowledge, Skills and participation in school

activities. Specifically, it Answered the following

questions: 1) What are the profile of the Respondents and OFW

parents? 2) What are the effects of Overseas Filipino Worker

study used the descriptive research design to know the

Effects of OFW parents to students of Mariners’ Polytechnic

Colleges. Thirty (30) students from the GAS, and HUMSS

students were made respondents of the study. Data were

to determine the effect of the Academic Performance of Grade

children during the migration of OFW parent. Thus from the

above-mentioned conclusions, it is recommended that students-

respondents should be continuously encouraged, motivated and

directed to have study time at home to improve their academic

performance. Aside from that in families where parents plan

to work abroad, it would be better if a father leaves instead

of a mother as this has effect on the performance of OFW

children in school. Other support system must continue to

extend moral, spiritual and even personal assistance to OFW

children for them not to experience the absence of an OFW

parents.
