According from the study of De Vera, 2020, the study was made to determine the
effects of extra and co-curricular activities to the academic performance of intermediate
pupils in Binmaley I District, Binmaley, Pangasinan. Public schools in the elementary
level in Binmaley District 1 are mostly with big campuses with standard number of pupils
and sample teaching force. Majority of the schools holds 5-7 co-curricular activities.
More so, the majority of the learners participate in the co-curricular activities in school,
district, division and regional levels. The participation of the learners to the co-curricular
activities contributes to attaining their learning competencies. The school profile has not
related to the extent of contribution of the majority of the co-curricular activities to pupils’
learning competencies. Among the top problems encountered by the learners in
participating Co-Curricular activities dwell on the pupils’ struggle with time management,
short attention span, costly activities, the difficulty of coping up and tardiness. Based on
the findings and conclusions, it is recommended that public elementary schools should
sustain the conduct of co-curricular activities and explore more innovative and
interactive activities to reach out to more learners. They should also promote and give
more emphasis on the participation of co-curricular activities. Further, since profile
variables do not affect the extent of contribution of the majority of the co-curricular
activities to pupils’ learning competencies, it should be part of the curriculum for good.
Parenting, volunteering, and home-learning activities all had a positive impact on the
grades of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand students,
regardless of their prior achievements, according to an analysis conducted by Bestlink
College of the Philippines on the benefits of extracurricular activities on academic
performance. The impacts of extracurricular activities on Grade 12 HUMSS Strand
students' academic performance at Bestlink College of the Philippines were investigated
in this study using a qualitative research methodology. A survey questionnaire was
given by the researchers to a subset of Grade 12 HUMSS Strand students in order to
collect data. Fifty respondents were selected using a purposive sample technique. The
findings indicated that participation in extracurricular activities has a significant impact
on one's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. There were
extracurricular activities in every community and school, whether they were run by the
government or privately. According to the research, academic performance of Grade 12
HUMSS Strand students who experience this problem is impacted by extracurricular
activities. According to the research, kids need to manage their time well in order to
succeed academically and extracurricularly. (Llobera J. Bantuyan et. Al, 2020)
