 Background of the Study
■ Income inconsistency remains as one of the most serious
issues confronting Filipino households.

■ Income is the cash received by an individual or

organization in return for their services or goods.

■ The term "inconsistency" refers to something, such as an

idea, statement, or argument, having the quality of certain
concepts, statements, and arguments that do not agree
with others.
 Background of the Study
■ Income inconsistency has been linked to a variety of
health and social problems, but the consequences of
income inconsistency for academic performance have not
been studied as fully as other sectors.

■ Wealth and income largely define the educational gap

today more than race and ethnicity.

■ “The educational attainment gap has deep roots; it is

evident very early in children's lives; even before they
reach schools."
