Parental involvement in school-based feeding program

Abstract

This study examined parental involvement in the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) at Calongbuyan Elementary School in Candon City, Ilocos Sur. The researchers analyzed the respondents' profile, level of involvement, and its impact on the program. The study revealed a moderate level of parental engagement (3.15) with no strong correlation to demographic characteristics. Active parental involvement positively influenced the program, creating a supportive environment and promoting student well-being. To enhance parental engagement, the study recommended fostering psychosocial elements, offering inclusive opportunities, and addressing socioeconomic concerns. The researchers developed a well-accepted brochure on parental involvement to improve the program's effectiveness. For future research, deeper correlations could be explored, stakeholders could be engaged, and the findings could be disseminated widely for greater impact. Overall, the study emphasized the importance of parental involvement in the SBFP and its potential benefits in creating a positive learning environment for students.
