COMPLIANCE TO QUALITY EDUCATION: Institutional Profiling of Public Secondary Schools

This study was conducted to determine the level of academic quality compliance of public secondary high schools and its predictors as input to strengthen institutional profiling. The respondents of the study were 167 teachers and school managers in (9) public secondary junior high schools in the City Schools Division of San Jose del Monte Bulacan for the School Year 2017-2018.

The descriptive research design was used employing the predictive technique in determining the influence of respondents’ profile, institutions’ profile variables and the management capability factors as the academic quality compliance of the schools. The questionnaire was the chief data gathering instrument used augmented by documentary analysis in securing the institutional profile data. The frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used as the descriptive statistical tools to describe the condition of the variables. The multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis on the influence of independent variables on the academic quality compliance of the schools. The statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was the statistical program used in the processing of data.

The findings revealed that the schools’ academic quality compliance on leadership and governance is predicted by the NAT (Beta = .431), promotion rate (Beta= 1.170), and enrollment rate (Beta = .747). The management capability on quality instruction predicts the schools’ academic quality compliance on curriculum and learning (Beta = .971) and the academic quality compliance on accountability and continuous improvement is influenced by the management capability on quality instruction. The promotion rate of the school predicts the academic quality compliance of the school in the area of management of resources (Beta =.671). The hypothesis stating that the respondent's profile, institutional profile, and management capability, singly or combination predict the schools' academic quality compliance is partly sustained.
