Keywords:
Impact, Competencies, School PerformanceAbstract
This study assessed the impact of secondary school heads' competencies on the school performance in the Division of Samar during the School Year 2015 - 2018. The study utilized descriptive, correlational research design to find out the impact of secondary school heads competencies on the schools’ performance in Samar Division. Majority of the school head-respondents reside in Paranas, Samar accounting for two or 20.00 percent. Majority of the school head-respondents were able to serve 4 to 6 years as school heads accounting for five or 50.00 percent. The school heads profile variates, such as age, sex, civil status, place of residence, highest educational attainment, number of relevant training's attended, number of years as school principal, number of awards received, and number of membership in professional and civic organization are not significantly related to their competence along school leadership.Most of the school head-respondents have no membership to any professional and civic organization. The schools’ level of performance in terms of enrolment, cohort survival rate, completion rate, teacher’s performance rating, NAT MPS, and the programs implemented are not significantly related to school-heads’ level of competence along personal and professional attributes. As outcomes of the programs implemented significantly influence the school heads’ perception of their level of competence, they should be encouraged to pursue, sustain and complete programs advocated by the Department of Education. They are encouraged to work as one with the school stakeholders in ensuring that the programs are delivered and sustained to students.
