Tracer Study of Senior High School Graduates from a Private School in the Philippines

Authors

Abstract

This study traces the post-graduation trajectories of the 2022 Senior High School graduates from a private school in the Philippines, evaluating the extent to which they embody the school's Life Performance Outcomes and Core Values, the significance of the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) acquired during their Senior High School (SHS) education, and the relevance of the SHS curriculum to their current endeavors. Using a quantitative-descriptive design, data were collected via a survey of 185 graduates, selected through simple random sampling. The results indicate that the extent of attainment of the life performance outcomes/core values, significance of the most essential learning competencies in SHS and the relevance of the SHS curriculum (performance standards) to current endeavor is very high among the graduates of the Senior High School. This concludes that the graduates find the SHS curriculum significantly relevant and beneficial in their higher education, work, and business. It is recommended that the school administrators continue the best practices for the school's curriculum implementation regarding standards, outcomes, and competencies. Further, the reasons for discontinuing enrollment in a private school in the Philippines may serve as a baseline for improving the services offered by the school.
