Implementation of School Learning Recovery and Continuity Plan: Basis of Action Plan
Murphy Espinosa
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
The research study assessed the implementation of the School Learning Recovery and Continuity
Plan (SLRCP) in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools of Zone 1, Division of Zambales for the
school year 2023-2024. The study used a descriptive survey research design and employed
descriptive and inferential statistics for data analysis. The findings revealed characteristics of school
heads involved in the implementation and highlighted areas of significant difference in the SLRCP
implementation based on educational attainment. However, no significant difference was found in
terms of age, sex, position, and years in service as school head concerning the implementation. The
proposed action plan is based on the study's lowest mean findings. Recommendations include
encouraging teachers to conduct learning needs assessments and seeking assistance from the Local
Government Unit for learners in need of electronic devices. Regular class observations are advised to
assess teaching methodologies, and training for community stakeholders and parents is encouraged to
improve communication and partnering skills. The action plan can be presented to School Heads for
potential implementation, and future researchers may conduct similar studies to validate the results.
