    The Covid19 pandemic has severely impacted education systems around the world, with over 1 billion students affected by school closures. This has led to an increase in student dropouts, especially in developing countries that lack resources for online learning. In the Philippines specifically, around 3 million primary students either did not enroll or did not return for the 2020-21 school year due to difficulties with remote learning and added costs. A survey also found that students from poor communities in Malaysia were less likely to return to school due to lost interest, demotivation, and financial difficulties paying fees. The study aims to determine the significant effects of the pandemic on increasing dropout rates in the Philippines by examining causes, comparing enrollment and dropout figures, and how

    Introduction

    Background of the Study

    Education plays a vital role in the economic development of a country as it increases

    the capacity and ability of people to be more productive economically. Every child, even

    those living in poverty, in war-torn areas or those living with disabilities – has a right to

    education. As the Save the Children stated, a leading humanitarian organization for children,

    education is the route out of poverty for many people. It gives them a chance to gain the

    knowledge and skills needed to improve their lives.

    Unfortunately, the coronavirus crisis has severely impacted education systems

    around the world as millions of children and students are now out of school due to

    shuttered institutions. Towards the end of March when most countries had introduced

    COVID-19 preventive measures, over one billion students worldwide were affected.

    Southeast Asian nations have made numerous efforts and plans in order to improve

    their education systems and standards. Prayut Chan-o-cha, Thailand’s premier, has promised

    first-rate education as a way for the kingdom to become a developed country by 2036.

    Whereas fellow ASEAN member state Indonesia vows to build a “world-class”

    education system by 2025. The governments of Cambodia and Lao are also aware that
    education standards must be prioritized and improved if their economies are to shift from

    low-cost, low-skilled manufacturing, writes David Hutt in his article titled, “Confronting

    Southeast Asia’s Big Education Challenge.”

    According to the 2019 ASEAN Key Figures report, all 10 ASEAN member states

    have made significant progress in ensuring primary education enrolment, with an enrolment

    rate of more than 90 percent in 2017.

    As for the enrolment rate for secondary education, almost all Southeast Asian

    countries experienced an increase in the last decade. A significant increase of more than 30

    percent was recorded in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Nevertheless,

    the report notes that there is still room for improvement as the net enrolment rate in secondary

    education is still below 80 percent in some ASEAN member states.

    Although some countries have reopened schools, the United Nations Educational,

    Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) estimates that more than 500 million learners

    are still affected by the pandemic.

    As a result of school closures, many institutions are now offering online learning to

    their students. Unfortunately, not everyone has the ability to opt for this, which then

    highlights the digital education divide in many developing and least developed countries.

    While countries worldwide are taking some actions to provide remote learning, at

    least 29 per cent of primary students are not being reached. In addition to lack of assets for

    remote learning, the youngest children may not be able to participate due to a lack of
    support using the technology, a poor learning environment, pressure to do household

    chores, or being forced to work.

    Henrietta Fore, executive director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)

    said that the disruption to schools caused by the pandemic is a “global education

    emergency”. She added that at least 24 million students are projected to drop out of school

    due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    A recent survey by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and UNICEF

    revealed that the number of students from poor communities in Malaysia’s capital city Kuala

    Lumpur and its surrounding areas returning to the classroom is dropping at an alarming rate.

    The study found that one out of five respondents said that their children had lost

    interest in school or are demotivated, while cost was also found to be the biggest factor

    contributing to the issue. One in two respondents said that they struggled paying for tuition

    fees while 50 percent found it difficult to provide pocket money for their kids.

    In the Philippines, around three million learners have either not enrolled in primary

    school at all, or have not returned to it in the 2020-21 academic year. For context, this

    number is almost equal to the entire population of Quezon City (2.94 million), a highly

    urbanized city in Metro Manila. This happened despite the massive enrolment and

    registration drive undertaken by schools, and the fact that opening was moved back four

    months. The COVID-19 pandemic forced these students to take a “gap year.”
    The causes of this forced “gap year” are quite obvious. The shift to remote or

    distance learning through self-learning modules and online classes, coupled with the costly

    yet slow internet connectivity in the country, puts a strain on families’ ability to shoulder the

    added costs of this type of education. Although the effect may vary across segments of

    society, what is clear is that some households are just not prepared for this sudden digital

    transformation, and lack the means to catch up. According to a paper by the Philippine

    Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), only 1 per cent of poor, 6 per cent of low-income

    and 27 percent of lower middle-income households have computers.

    Statement of the Problem

    This study aims to determine the significant effects of the Covid19 Pandemic into the

    increasing rate of students’ drop outs in the Philippines.

    Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

    1. What are the specific causes of the increasing rate of drop outs in the

    Philippines?

    2. Is there a significant difference of the figures of rate of drop outs into the rate of

    enrollees?

    3. How will the government mitigate these challenges to lift the morale of the

    Philippine Education?
    Scope and Delimitations

    This study is concentrated on determining the impact of Covid19 pandemic into the

    increasing rate of drop outs in the Philippines. This study was conducted at Castor Z.

    Concepcion Memorial National High school, Antonino, Balaoan, La Union, It used the

    phenomenological qualitative research methods. Researchers used interviews guide

    questions in gathering data from the respondents. The respondents are the students,

    teachers and parents.

    Significance of the Study

    The result of the study benefit the following:

    For the Students. The study will help them to understand on how to cope up with

    the challenges encountered during the new normal educational set-up and to become

    aware about the programs of the government through Department of Education (DepEd)

    and other concerned agencies in order them to pursue their learning process.

    For the Parents. This study will help them to realize the importance of sending their

    children to school, on how they will cope up with the adjustments brought by the pandemic.

    For the Teachers. This will help them to be more aware and sensitive to the

    situations and needs of every learner who experience such difficulties of new normal
    educational set up, for them to adjust and seek other teaching method in pursuit for the

    convenience of every learner, thus, the learner will encourage not to drop out from school.

    For the Community. This will help the to be aware regarding the limited discussions

    about the increasing rate of drop outs in a certain community.

    For the authorities. This study will help the authorities, the government, through the

    Department of Education (DepEd) and other concerned government agencies and the non-

    government organizations as well to identify the cause and effect, intervention, and

    recommendation to address this alarming issues.

    For the Researchers. This will help them to widen their knowledge regarding the

    impact of this pandemic into the increasing rate of drop out.

    For the future researchers. This will help them to be their basis and guide in making

    new research study that is related to this study.
