Keywords:
School Personnel Commitment , Operational Difficulties , Strategic management , Curriculum Implementation , Human Resource Development , Partnership and LinkagesAbstract
The study aimed to determine the school personnel’s level of commitment and difficulties in the operation of the Schools Division Office in Central Philippines during the School Year 2022-2023. It explored areas such as strategic management, curriculum implementation, human resource development, and partnerships. The study involved 227 teachers from Canlaon City Division, using total enumeration. Results indicated a high level of commitment in strategic management, curriculum delivery, and professional development, but highlighted challenges in governance compliance, financial management, and community linkages. Moderate difficulties were noted in strategic planning, workload management, technology use, curriculum scheduling, resource procurement, and community engagement. Comparative analysis showed no significant variations in commitment and difficulties based on demographic factors, except for sex, which influenced perceived difficulties in strategic management. These findings suggest targeted interventions to enhance operational efficiency and educational leadership within the Division Office.
