Abstract:

This study examined the opportunities and challenges of financially disadvantaged Grade 6 learners at Natumolan Elementary School during the 2024-2025 academic year. Through individual interviews, the research examined the influence of parental education, employment status, family structure, and access to resources on learners’ learning. Results highlighted the significant positive impact of parental education and stable employment, as these factors are associated with increased support, readily available resources, and a more conducive home learning environment that contributes to academic success. In contrast, single-parent households and financial hardship often result in limited access to essential resources, including technology and nutritious food, which negatively impact both academic performance and overall well-being. To address these challenges, the study recommends a multifaceted strategy: schools should provide individualized learner support, implement programs that empower parents to engage more actively in their children’s education, and adapt teaching practices to accommodate diverse learning needs. Furthermore, ensuring access to critical resources and encouraging ongoing research are key steps toward creating a more equitable educational environment.
