POLICY INTERVENTION FOR RETURNING STUDENTS: THE CASE OF CEBU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Returning students are the heart of the institution (CTU).  Therefore, the school must provide intervention strategies as an aid in the completion of the course.    The study assessed the conditions of returning students (CTU) as a basis for the formulation of intervention policies.  Specifically, it determined (1) the demographic profile of returning students in terms of individual background, academic and social system.  (2)  dropout rate ;  (3) completion rate of the University; (4)  dropout motives perceived by CTU Administrators in handling returnees; (5) lived experiences of school Administrator’s Management of Returning Students.  (6) Proposed Policy Interventions for Returning Students; (7) a conceptual schema for dropout students.  The study utilized the descriptive evaluative type of research design where survey questionnaires are the primary data-gathering tools.  There is evidence that the students in the CTU were dropping out of their course indicating a need to consider policy intervention.
