Research Statement
• Poverty in the Philippines significantly impacts students' academic performance and
ability to continue studies. Low-income families often face financial difficulties,
leading to early exit from formal schooling. Technology and internet access are
crucial, but scarcity leads to work and reliance on the 4 P's, negatively impacting
mental, physical, and emotional health.
• Poverty undermines students' educational experiences by creating challenges such
as financial struggles, limited access to quality education, difficult home
environments, health issues, and restricted extracurricular opportunities.
• This proposal explores how poverty affects Grade 11 students at Commonwealth
High School, examining access to resources and coping strategies. It assesses the
impact of external support systems on improving educational equity through
interventions like financial aid and counseling.

Research Statement
• Efforts to address poverty in education include financial aid programs, resource
redistribution to underfunded schools, and ensuring access to extracurricular
activities. Schools also provide counseling, mentoring, after-school programs, and
digital learning initiatives to enhance accessibility. Additionally, there is an
increasing focus on student health and nutrition to support overall well-being and
academic success.
• The Philippines' digital learning strategies for poverty students are ineffective due
to a lack of understanding of their perceptions of the learning process, personal
experiences, interactions with resources, and their psychological wellbeing.
• This study focuses on Grade 11 students at Commonwealth High School, where
limited access to online learning is a challenge. Using qualitative methods like
interviews and focus groups, it explores their experiences and coping strategies.
The research aims to amplify their voices and provide insights to help educators,
parents, and administrators develop targeted support systems.

Scope And Delimitation
• The study aims to benefit teachers, parents, and students by identifying students struggling with subjects
and providing assistance. It highlights the difficulties parents face in obtaining essentials like school supplies
and tutoring, advocating for better parental support systems and raising awareness of their needs. The study
also aims to foster resilience, improve academic success, and ensure low-income students have access to
resources. It raises awareness of unfair differences in education and supports efforts to break the cycle of
poverty by creating programs like free school meals and affordable housing.
• This study examines the experiences of Grade 11 low-income students at
Commonwealth High School, focusing on their struggles with basic educational
resources and extracurricular activities. Data will be collected through interviews
with students experiencing poverty. The study aims to understand the unique
challenges faced by these students, highlighting the need for better support
systems and addressing financial hardships in schools. This will help teachers,
administrators, and policymakers better serve students in similar situations.

Literature review
Summary (include your
concept/literature/studies)
Poverty affects students' learning experiences by creating barriers
like limited resources, unmotivation, and increased absenteeism. This
leads to academic burnout and lower self-esteem. Students use
various strategies to overcome these challenges, including financial
assistance, transportation, and community-based programs.
Policymakers should provide free educational tools to bridge the
digital divide and enhance resource accessibility.

Conclusion/
closing remarks
• Our study could lead to the development of policy recommendations to
reduce the impact of poverty on educational outcomes. By identifying specific
barriers faced by students in low-income families, our study may advocate for
changes in educational policy, such as increased funding for schools in
impoverished areas, enhanced access to school resources, and better
mental health and counseling services for affected students.
• We deeply appreciate the new knowledge this study has imparted for us. By
step-by-step writing, polishing and finalizing our study; this progress would
surely help us with our next journey as a student especially for the
challenges that we may face for our next research studies.
