Multigrade Program in Philippine Education (MPPE)
In Philippine education, there is a multigrade program (MPPE). Through the opening of full multigrade classes and the completion of incomplete schools in far-flung barangays, the program supports the DECS mandate to increase access to and quality elementary education.
Inadequate instructional support from school heads and managers- multigrade school heads play a key role in raising concerns about multigrade teachers' various positions. The management style of the school's principal affects teacher motivation and adherence to child-friendly expectations. In addition, the school principal offers opportunities, a stable income, and healthcare.
2. Multiple roles assigned to multigrade teachers- A multigrade class is made up of students of various classes, ages, interests, and skills, which means that the way they are taught is often different. Overall, teachers serve as facilitators and planners. That's why they're told about their duties and tasks.
3. Absence of a responsive monitoring and assessment framework designed specifically for multigrade implementation- multigrade has been implemented; thus, it must be tested in order for school administrators to know how successful it is. This was important to see how the information learned during the training was put into effect and used to teach the combined grades using the curriculum developed, as well as to evaluate students.
