ABSTRACT

This research aimed to explore educators' perspectives on the No Filipino Child Left Behind Act of 2013. Employing a qualitative research design, the study involved ten participants selected from five schools in Iligan City, Division Lanao del Norte, using purposive sampling. Through in-depth interviews, the researcher collected substantial data subjected to thematic analysis. The findings indicated that compulsory education for school-age children contributes to a more promising and secure future. Moreover, unwavering parental support emerged as a crucial factor in ensuring education for all. However, participants expressed concerns about Section 2 of the Act, suggesting that it might foster dependency on teachers and compromise the delivery of quality education. The study also unveiled a need to reorient participants on specific Act provisions. Consequently, these results prompted the development of a program aimed at revisiting and clarifying the Act's key provisions.
