Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the efficacy of the World Food Program to the pupils' performance of Binidayan Elementary School. This study utilized the descriptive qualitative, in which there were thirty (30) randomly selected Grades IV to VI pupils in Binidayan Elementary School, Binidayan District, Lanao del Sur II, ARMM. Findings revealed that the World Food Program has an effect on the increased of the academic performance, the behavior, the attendance, the nutritional status, and the enrollment of the respondent. There was no significant relationship between the status of World Food Program implementation to the academic performance, behavior, attendance, nutritional status (BMI) and enrollment of the respondent. One of the primary goals of World Food Programs was to provide meals or snacks to reduce short-term hunger in the classroom so that the students can concentrate and learned better, and to attract children to school and have them attend class regularly. An action plan is recommended to be followed to sustain the World Food Program.
