Abstract:

This study accentuated on the determinants of senior high school tracks and strands inclination of Grade 10 students of the five (5) secondary schools in Municipality of Alabel: Alabel National High School, Alabel Integrated SPED Center, Alegria National High School, Kawas National High School, and Tokawal National High School. It used a quantitative descriptive-survey method of research that involved 788 respondents utilizing a descriptive survey method of research to gather the data needed. Frequencies and percentages were utilized to verify the respondents’ tracks and strands preferences. Based on the findings of the study, the majority of the preferred senior high school tracks and strands of the Grade 10 students were not included in the offerings of the five secondary schools in the Municipality of Alabel. With these results an Intervention Program Matrix was made in order to help the schools to open senior high school tracks and strands based on the needs of the communities. Through this, students will be able to be ready to enroll in college programs that are aligned with their senior high school tracks and strands. Based on the findings of the study, it is highly recommended that every school must have intensive career advocacy on the parents and students for proper guidance.
