ABSTRACT

The study determined how the school heads and YES-O advisers assess the implementation of YES-O programs on environmental awareness and stakeholders’ involvement in all public secondary schools in the Division of Bacoor City during the school year 2017-2018. The study was guided with Segui’s IEES theory (Inform, Educate, Engage and Save). Descriptive method of research was utilized in this study. Using the universal purposive sampling technique all ten (10) school heads and ten (10) YES-O advisers were made as respondents. The respondents were given survey questionnaires to determine their assessment in the implementation of the YES-O mandated programs as well as the advantages these programs have benefitted the students. Several statistical treatments were utilized such as weighted mean, ranking, standard deviation, frequency and percentage and the independent t-test. The study revealed that there is no significant difference on the assessment of school heads and YES-O advisers on various mandated programs and activities of YES-O. The School Heads and the YES-O advisers highly acknowledged the dynamism of the organization in performing its role to develop environmental awareness among students and other school and community stakeholders. The implementation of the YES-O programs made the students manifest their knowledge, skills, attitude and concern for the environment and community. Moreover, it has increased the environmental awareness of the students and the community stakeholders.
