Abstract:
This study seeks to describe implementing features of the "No Child Left Behind Policy'' in selected elementary schools in Pampanga. This study employed the use of the mixed- method design specifically, explanatory sequential design. Fifty-three (53) teachers from three (3) elementary schools participated in the quantitative phase, answering a survey questionnaire, and fifteen (15) informants in the qualitative phase, responding a semi- structured questionnaire. In the qualitative data, there are four subthemes addressing the benefits of the "No Child Left Behind Policy" namely free tuition, increase in enrollment, open opportunities for students for a better future, and support from stakeholders. Two subthemes for the influences of the "No Child Left Behind Policy" on promoting pupils emerged namely compliance with the legalities of the policy and fulfillment of the teachers' duties and obligations to their students. Based on the conclusion, it is recommended that the teachers and parents must work together for the children's academic performance. The school and community should provide programs for the parents. Teachers must instill in their students the value of education and how this can transform their lives.
