 What are the issues and challenges in
implementing the Open High School
Program?
 This design inadvertently created the impression that the
program was for at-risk students only.
 Since the program is ideal if the students can have
access to varities of multi-media materials, this became
limited in public school because of the inavailability of
digital media.
 The learners must be ready for self-
directed learning

Success of The program must be owned by the

OHSP school and community

A rigid monitoring and evaluation

system must be in place
