 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

Hence, it was revealed that the STE Program stakeholders and

participants are aware of their aims but needed some emphasis
on social needs. The elective subjects of the program need review
for it offers advancement among students in the program. ICT is
widely used in the program especially in continuous learning in
times of the pandemic. There is limited fund in public schools and
it is meant to be distributed to the population of students; thus,
there is also a limit to the availability of funding for the STE
students who only comprised the small percentage of the school
population; thus there is also limited facilities and equipment.
