Abstract
This study assessed the school-based feeding program among the ten (10) identified elementary public school recipients in the District of Tuburan II during the school year 2019-2020. The respondents were 217 learners from Grades 1-6, 130 parents, and 10 school feeding teachers. This study utilized the descriptive-survey method of research in obtaining the data and information through a modified adopted survey questionnaire of Reyes (2016) from his study, Impact of the School-Based Feeding Program on the Physical Growth, Academic Performance, and Social Development of Students. It was found out in the study that the academic achievement and nutritional status of the learners increased after the feeding program has been implemented. In addition, parents and teachers’ perception on the degree of effectiveness of the school-based feeding program in terms of its objectives, had an average weighted mean of 3.82 and 3.59 respectively, which were interpreted as Very Effective. They also perceived the degree of effectiveness of the school-based feeding program in terms of its activities as Very Effective with an average weighted mean of 3.68 and 3.80. However, some of its activities like orientation of the parents about the program, backyard gardening and gulayan sa paaralan need to be strengthened. In conclusion, school-based feeding program had a great impact in improving the learners’ academic achievement and nutritional status in the District of Tuburan II. The findings of the study were very significant since it enabled the researcher to propose an enriched school-based feeding activities that will serve as a guide of the school feeding teachers in the implementation of the program.
