When the coronavirus spread across the world; people faced a common danger. A danger that has affected all human beings. But this disproportionally affected the people forced to stay in their homes because struggles have not stopped. Poverty continues to exist. An environmental disaster occurs now and then. Crime is still present in our daily existence. People are still being forced to stay at home, and unfortunately, there is an increasing rate of unemployment occurred in the country. Government and non-government agencies have pushed to find new ways to protect and sustain the lives of people most especially the least privileged families and individuals which is the most vital than ever especially the most remote displaced communities.
Since the worldwide impact of Covid-19 is multifaceted and is manifested in almost all sectors, particularly the health, economic, and most especially in the education sectors. Since the announcement of the virus as a pandemic in March 2020, there have been a plethora of daily reports on its impact on the lives of millions across the world. Accordingly, every country’s primary concern has become to diminish the spread of the virus and alleviate its effects on society in general, and the most vulnerable communities.
Going to school is the best public policy tool available to raise skills, gain knowledge and acquire the appropriate attitude of children. However, families have been forced to stay in their respective homes and stopped going to school because of fear of the virus. But can people estimate how much the COVID-19 will affect learning? Will education continue to raise the quality of learning of students? Will education stop? These are the few questions in the minds and hearts of educators and families. As our DepEd secretary said, Education should continue to exist.
Therefore, Mabolo National High School tries to find more suitable solutions than ever to create ways how to solve the global problem, that is to save lives, and to continue living, through continuing education and building better futures for people who are forced to flee their homes. Mabolo National High creates innovation in education for learning will continue.
In addition, the commitment of Mabolo National High School continues to find ways to make education more interesting to the learners and sustainable to the community.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption of education systems in history. It is a quintessential adaptive and transformative challenge, one for which there is no pre-configured playbook that can guide appropriate leanings to the student. Education swiftly designs innovation for learning – and with specific contexts in mind – as the pandemic runs its course. This continuous improvement project talks about series of comparative analysis of emerging educational needs and responses as the pandemic unfolds in the four corners of Mabolo National High School. The overall goal of this continuous improvement project is to create an intervention program and implementation of adaptive needs of the emerging education challenges and to protect young people’s educational opportunities during and after the pandemic.
Through school from home, students need positive reinforcement both from parents and teachers to improve or trigger their positive behavior. This continuous improvement project aims to identify the intensity needs of the students including their family and to give suitable reinforcement given by the school to students during school from home.
Teachers have faced lots of hindrances in the meaningful educational process to students during the global coronavirus pandemic. Initially, these were practical, including providing students with blended education to cater to their needs. As the pandemic continues and the need for continual education, many teachers also encounter the challenge of keeping students actively engaged, despite students’ option to turn off their devices and disconnect.
Overextended teachers faced the daunting task of making blended education more enjoyable for students, without the natural positive reinforcement, such as socializing with friends, that in-person schooling provides. However, most teachers have many ways to engage learners in the classroom that can be adapted to engage in learning while at home. One such tool is the use of frequent, specific, suitable positive reinforcement for learners during this pandemic to increase promotion rate, and cohort survival and lessen dropouts.
Senior High School is a bridge to a college curriculum or a future career. It is where the learner will choose a track that will determine the college course or career life. Thus, subjects of the senior high student are prerequisite to the college curriculum, or a worker, or an entrepreneur. The school has mandated by DepED to have a 100% percent passing grade to proceed to the next semester as required to the DepED Senior High curriculum. Failure to pass the minimum required cannot proceed to the next level and would affect the learner one’s life and career. Therefore, the CI team reviewed and studied comprehensively the result of the SMEA in the first quarter s.y. 2020-2021. The team found out that there 9 learners out of 26 who have no grade in DISS. This is the level that needs immediate intervention because this is the level where learners are expected to be prepared for the curriculum exist.
The CI team prepared a project proposal entitled #NobodyLeftBehind: 1*4*3 Pan-Tree A School Rolling pantry to prepare the learners for curriculum exit. The recipient of this project is the 9 learners of grade 11 Marx GAS Strand classified as the Printed modality which has no grades or INC in the subject DISS.
As a result, the CI team of Mabolo National High School conducted the CI project to provide more acceptable alternatives solutions and interventions to better serve the community.
Reason of NO Grades in DISS
The 2018 poverty incidence among population, or the proportion of poor Filipinos whose per capita income is insufficient to meet their basic food and non-food needs, is now estimated at 16.7 percent. This translates to about 17.7 million Filipinos living in poverty in 2018 (PSA, Reference No.: 2020-094, Release Date: 04 June 2020. https://psa.gov.ph/poverty-press-releases/nid/162559).
This opted the Grade 11-Marx students to work for their family in order to survive.
The main reason why there are nine INC grades because students help their family to look for essential needs for living. There deficiency is more on the first level according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Maslow’s Expanded Hierarchy of Needs (Coachilla,2017: The New Hierarchy of Needs. Retrieved From https://www.coachilla.co/blog/the-new-hierarchy-of-needs) stated that deficiency needs arise due to deprivation and are said to motivate people when they are unmet. Also, the motivation to fulfill such needs will become stronger the longer the duration they are denied. The gr 11. Marx’s deficiency is more on the first level: the longer a family goes without essential living, the hungrier they will become, and the more they focus to meet the need.
Therefore, #NobodyLeftBehind Program: 1*4*3 Pan-Tree; The School Rolling Pantry is a school INTERVENTION tool as a positive reinforcement to cater to the needs of the students and their families in the academic, psychosocial, and socioeconomic challenges.
The School INTERVENTION Program is guided and supported with philosophical and psychological theories, and management system as the backbone of the program.
