Project CLAP (Complimenting Learners Academic Performance)

Motivating students to excel academically is a common challenge faced by school head

and teachers. In CNHS, this issue is no different. Consequently, despite the efforts of teachers
and parents to encourage students to do their best in school, many learners still struggle to
reach their full potential. This lack of motivation often results in poor academic performance
and leads to a cycle of underachievement that can be difficult to break. However, a new
initiative known as Project CLAP (Complimenting Learners Academic Performance) is
aiming to change this trend and inspire Cabayan learners to strive for excellence in their
studies.
Through a system of incentives and rewards, students are encouraged to work hard
and excel in their studies. This positive reinforcement not only boosts students' confidence
and self-esteem but also motivates them to continue striving for excellence in their academic
pursuits.
In grade 7, 38 out of 112 students were recognized as academic awardees, accounting for
34% of the grade. Grade 12 had the highest percentage of academic awardees, with 41 out of
63 students receiving awards, making up 65% of the grade.
On the other hand, grade 8 had the challenging percentage of academic awardees, with
only 28% of students receiving awards. Grade 11 followed closely behind with 41% of students
being recognized.
Overall, the data shows a varied distribution of academic awards across different grade
levels. Grade 12 had the highest percentage of awardees, indicating a high level of academic
performance within that grade. Grades 7 and 9 also had a significant proportion of
students receiving awards. Grades 8 and 10, on the other hand, had challenging percentages
of awardees compared to the other grades.
Consequently, Project CLAP is a valuable initiative that is making a significant impact
on Cabayan learners and their academic performance. In recognizing and rewarding
student achievement, providing incentives and support, and fostering a culture of excellence,
Project CLAP is helping to motivate students and inspire them to excel in their studies. It has
an impressive success rate of 85% in improving grades, the initiative is proving to be a
powerful tool in transforming the academic performance of Cabayan learners.
