Sustainability Plan for Grade 11 Academic Track Curriculum

Abstract

This descriptive-corretional study aimed to assess the attainment of the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) of Grade 11 Academic Track students in Ilocos Sur National High School for the School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it examined the students’ level of attainment of the MELCs in Pag-aaral ng
Kasaysayan at Lipunang Pilipino, Effective Communication/Mabisang Komunikasyon, and Life and Career Skills. It also determined the significant relationship between the students’ profile variables—age, sex, parents’ educational attainment, family income, field of interest, number of siblings, place of residence, and parents’ occupation and their level of attainment of the MELCs.
The study revealed that majority of the Grade 11 Academic Track students are 16-year-old female students who have two siblings, live in a rural area, and are interested in pursuing a career in teaching. Most of their parents are postgraduates, working as farmers or housewives, and have an income ranging from 20,001 to 30,000. In addition, the level of attainment for the most essential learning competencies in Pag-aaral ng Kasaysayan at Lipunang Pilipino, Effective Communication, and Life and Career Skills are rated as "Outstanding," indicating effective curriculum delivery, sound instructional practices, and meaningful learner engagement. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between sex, parents' occupation, and family income with the attainment of the essential learning competencies in Effective Communication and Life and Career Skills. However, the number of siblings shows a negative significant correlation with these competencies.
Based on these findings, a Sustainability Plan for Grade 11 Academic Track students was designed and validated, aligned with the Department of Education (DepEd) standards and grounded in the study’s findings to sustain and enhance their levels of attainment in various learning competencies
