ABSTRACT
Problems are part of our lives, it is one of the few things that we cannot
escape in our life. These helps us to learn things that we really do not know me
would conquer. Problems help us to see things more positively after experiencing
them.
The study aims to determine what are the common school problems that
students facing today. The demographic profile shows the gender, age and the
status in life of the respondents.
The scope of the study is the aim to assess on what are the school problems
they are facing and how this affect them. Munyinlupa National High School Main
was the place where the researchers conducted the research. The delimitation of
our study are the, Grade 11 and Junior High School and other public schools
around Muntinlupa City.
Most of the respondents said that they mostly experience having school
problems because of having school works. And the least school problem is being
3
late. It shows that the most problem that was most experienced by the students
school problesms is having a lot of school works that may affect their health.
Data rewards that most of the students still find their way to solve their
own problems personally, they don’t let themselves to suffer and depressed by
their problems. Students should know that all problems have solution, they just
need to trust themselves, and find the best way.

I. INTRODUCTION
In today's time, education is the only solution to the problem of the
majority, but student achievement is not just as good as General Academic Strand
students in Muntinlupa National High School Main
A student is also experiencing a variety of problems. From simple one sometimes
it grows and get complicated because few students can not solve their simple
problem.
Problem is an important thing in the life of a person or a student because
here it tests the stability and ability of a person or student to fix his own problems
The life of senior high school is similar to a college life, there's a lot of problems
and struggling that cause students to discontinue reaching their desire goals,
problems that cause students to give up.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The researchers have purpose or reason why the study was conducted. The
study aims to know the problems facing of the grade 12 students of Genereal
Academic Strand in the Muntinlpa National High School Main. This chapter
illustrates the various problems that would be focused on addressing this problem:
1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of:
1.1 Gender
1.2 age
1.3 status in life
2. What are the school problems that students are experiencing?
3. How students can solve these problems?

II. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents related literature about the topic that can help us to do
our research.
According to Naveen (2016) the most common problem faced by students
is that they find it hard to accept the fact that going to college doesn’t mean end of
your academics. Partially influenced by movies, which show college students only
in canteens and theaters students often think college is merely fun. When presented
with actual facts like results and monthly tests they tend to get depressed. The
parents and teachers should also be blamed for telling their kids, finish school and
no one will ever force you to study again. The only possible solution is to
understand that college is a place where we can make friends and have fun but it
doesn’t end there. The ultimate purpose is to learn and shape your future.
Increased tuition fee, hostel costs, eating out, birthday treats, gifts for
girlfriend/boyfriend and by the end of the first week all the money your parents
sent for that month are over. After the first week or maximum by the second the
students hardly eat. College students drop out of college each year because they
cannot afford it.
7
Another common problem faced by today’s younger generation is too much of
stress and peer pressure. While the earlier generations studied and worked they
were not remotely as stressed as the current lot. They are constantly monitored,
and there is a constant need for competition and extra effort. Things are constantly
changing and they have to keep themselves updated to stay in the game, otherwise
it is very easy to get left behind while the others keep moving forward.
Until not so long back, parents would never let their precious kids take up part
time jobs. In India, working and studying was never appreciated. But with
increased tuition fees and sky-rocketing book prices, many students are taking up
part time jobs. Part-time jobs when related to what they study, is actually useful
and can provide a great experience. But, most students take up jobs in pizza outlets
and petrol bunks which distract them from studies and could pose a significant
problem to their growth
And lastly, They are lack of interests and motivation. Indian students are spoon fed
throughout school and they constantly attend classes, extra classes, tests and
tuitions to learn the same concepts day in day out and finally vomit everything on
the day of final exam. Some of the students are pushed into courses which they
don’t prefer and it makes them rather depressed. Students lose interest and forget
the actual purpose of going to college and tend to become lethargic and
uninterested. When reality finally dawns upon them in the final semester, it is
already too late.

As stated by Oxord Royale Academy (2014) Everyone experiences
difficulties with studying at one time or another, and overcoming these challenges
is all part of the learning process, particularly when you have a large workload
Such issues range from temporary glitches to chronic lack of motivation and low
productivity. It can take what feels like extraordinary will-power to overcome
these issues, but the important thing to remember is that they can be conquered
with the right attitude. In this article, we address some of the most common study
problems that can afflict students at any stage in their education, and discuss some
strategies for dealing with them.
Having difficulty sleeping can be catastrophic for your motivation.
Low motivation is one of the biggest problems you may have to tackle during your
education. Without sufficient internal drive to achieve, getting through the sheer
volume of work needed to gain your qualifications can feel impossible. Key to
understanding low motivation is to figure out the reasons behind it; they’re not
necessarily the same reasons for everyone. Low motivation may be experienced
either for certain subjects, or across the board; some of the common causes of it
include: You are tired and stressed, with too much to do
There are other, more interesting things to do
You find the subject boring, or don’t enjoy it for some other reason
You don’t like your teacher for a certain subject
9
You have other things happening in your life, meaning studying doesn’t feel
important right now. You’re not in the best of health, or not sleeping
You’re worrying about failure. There will always be something to distract you.
There are so many external stimuli these days that it’s little wonder that many
students feel distracted. Social media, friends, phone, television, video games and
outings all have a part to play in wreaking havoc on students’ ability to focus on
studying. If you feel your productivity is suffering from a multitude of distractions,
it’s time to change your working environment to one more conducive to studying.
Creating the right environment for learning should be a relatively easy solution
that will help you overcome the power of all these external distractions. Eliminate
the things you know to be your weaknesses from your workspace. This could
include your phone, the internet, the television and so on. Limit your socialising to
weekends, and consider installing a browser app that stops you going on Facebook
or your other favourite sites for certain periods of time. If you need to use your
computer for writing essays, try using an app that will fill the screen with whatever
you’re working on, so that the internet isn’t a distraction.
Getting some fresh air may help your concentration.
Even when you’ve eliminated distractions, concentration can still be a major issue.
It’s not just possible but common to lose focus and experience a dramatic drop in
productivity. We’re probably all familiar with the feeling of sitting in front of a
blank page, staring at it, unable to begin, our mind wandering. Procrastination is a
10
symptom of lack of concentration (among other things); if you find yourself
constantly checking Facebook or texting when you know you’re meant to be
working, it’s a sure sign that you need to be taking steps to improve your
concentration levels.
Like low motivation, difficulty concentrating can be caused by a number of
problems. If you’re unable to concentrate because you have something on your
mind, you need to try to clear your head before you start working, else it will
hinder your productivity. Another possible reason for lack of concentration is that
the task in front of you feels so enormous that you don’t know where to begin. A
good way of combatting this problem is to break the task down into smaller, more
manageable tasks. Finally, it’s worth noting that difficulty concentrating can also
arise from working too hard. If you’ve been working yourself into the ground and
not having enough rest, try giving yourself some time off. The chances are that
you’ll return to your desk feeling refreshed and much better able to concentrate.
This is arguably the easiest problem on this list to fix. Academic success relies on
having access to the right resources, whether that’s the necessary books,
equipment, a teacher to talk to, or anything else you need to learn effectively. If it’s
books you need, ask your teacher to recommend some, so that you don’t
inadvertently take your learning in the wrong direction. Equipment – such as a
new laptop, stationery and so on – will be a matter to discuss with your parents. If
there’s a compelling argument for investing in new equipment (such as a new
11
laptop, or an iPad), speak to your parents about it and present your case. If you can
convince them that these things will aid your studying, you’re in with a chance of
persuading them. Studying at any level requires good time management, and if you
find yourself struggling to meet deadlines, or you feel overwhelmed with work, or
you frequently end up having to stay up late into the night to finish off a piece of
homework, this is a sign that you need to work on your time management skills.
This means becoming more organised, keeping a list of what needs to be done and
by when, and getting started on homework as soon as you’re set it, rather than
putting it off. It also means being more disciplined with your routine: getting up
earlier, planning out your day, and making maximum productive use of the time
you allocate to each of your subjects. You’ll find lots more time management and
general productivity.
On the report of Saleem (2012) As we know that education is the backbone
in the development of any nation, it is a fact that the countries with an effective
system of education lead the world, both socially and economically. The key to
development is good education system. Pakistan is one of those very few countries
where the system of education has constantly deteriorated. The situation at present
is so bad that our system of education is almost near collapse.Student life is not as
easier as it seems. Even it is not easy to wake up for schools early in the morning
everyday that is a very big responsibility to reach in time.
12
Pakistan is an underdeveloped nation, majority of our people are living on the
poverty line that can barely make their both ends meet. They cannot afford even
the negligible fees being charged in the government institutions, let alone the
books and uniforms for which they are to pay from their own pockets. Majority of
our young ones are child labor, they indulge in child labor not only to feed them
selves but to support their families too.
In Pakistan education is very expensive due to the shortage of public educational
institutes. We have only 73 public universities and most of the population study in
these universities. Similarly, there is short number of public colleges where
students can get free education. Our most of the students belong to the middle
class and they have very limited resources. Parents can’t afford easily the expenses
of studying their children. Lots of students have to work part time to sponsor their
studies themselves. In students life nearly every student usually face financial
crisis.
Students usually have to buy books, note books, notes of their course outline and
meet transportation expenses. They have to bear some extra expenses for that they
can’t ask to their parents as bunk classes and going out with fellows, buying gifts
for their girl friends / boyfriends and many other activities. In our country, students
face a lot of problems during their educational career. They are the most unguided
students in the world. Neither the parent due to their ignorance due to which they
can’t chose proper subject and proper filed nor the teachers due to lack of
13
professionalism are able to guide them. Lack of guidance is very serious problem
which students face. The purpose of early education is to induce in to the students
an interest of education but children are taught by untrained teachers in their early
stage, so they lose interest in education. The high expectation of families and
absence of guidance affects the ability of the students. One of the big problems
faced by students is, usually they are not free to choose study program of their own
choice. Parents imposed a field of study which is not suitable for the child or he
couldn’t feel good to study in that field. This is very common problem of our
society. Student wants to be journalist or photographer but parents select
engineering for him. So when he gets admission in engineering college he could
not perform better. He feels that he is not fit for this field. Students usually have to
study in unhealthy and un-friendly environment. As sometime the fellows and
teachers are very un-friendly and behave rudely. Students can’t study at home due
to certain reasons as load shedding or have to do some domestic households etc.
Some students who are from other cities face lots of problems of food and
residence. Students are physically stressed due to the fact that they start early in
the morning and walk long distances to school, on reaching schools they are
subjected to physical punishments and when they return they are given substantial
amount of homework for which they have no guidance. In addition they have to go
for coaching classes. They also have to read Quran Pak ultimately they do not have
time for playing. Due to mental stress and too much work students have no time to
14
develop social relations and the feeling of loneliness overtakes them. This leads to
depression and mental sickness, which is taken by society as being under the
influence of spirits. To cure this they are taken to different shrines which majority
of times results into partial mental disability.
In opinion of Annie (2017) Most students do it for that dream job and
ultimately success. We all will have a unique experience, but I guarantee it will
not be easy! Graduates and university students will agree with me in feeling
overwhelmed and distressed when they reminisce about their university life. But
its not all bad, my advice is that its essential that whatever you decide to study has
to be something that interests you and that you are genuinely passionate about.
Secondly, make friends!
University will be difficult without having a close friendship group for moral and
emotional support as well as networking and to bounce ideas from.
Major student problems include the pressure, and too much of it and that
uncertainty at the finish line, because what is the point if its not guaranteed that
there will be jobs available? Completing a university degree will take blood, sweat
and tears. Most university students will be experiencing anxiety/ panic attacks and
be sleep deprived from all-nighters cramming. Students discover a lot about
themselves, they gain skills such as professional procrastination and resilience they
continue living off coffee and energy drinks while during SWOTVAC. Studying
15
will take up majority of a student’s life, the other remaining portion of it will
consist of a job and if you’re lucky you even might have personal/ social life. Try
to find that balance, students will naturally fall into a routine that works for them.
For me, I worked by the reward system, I went out on every occasion I was able to
or felt like I deserved it, i.e. after handing in assignments, completing tests and
exams. Be ready to experience fomo at its finest as sacrifices will have to be
made. From personal experience and enduring thirteen years of primary and
secondary school, four and a half years studying a Bachelor of Laws full time and
half a year of Advanced Graduate Diploma in legal practice. I honestly had little to
no personal or social life, but that didn’t bother me so much because I was able
jusfitify that I would rather miss and event than have to restudy and redo an exam.
That said, on every chance I was able to go out – I always did. Thereby, balance
must be found amongst all the mess. Don’t drive yourself mad, everything in
moderation. As a student, I honestly disliked school, but I knew it was necessary –
or better said I was raised to believe that it was necessary to be successful and
have an easy life. My parents are both Vietnamese refugees so you can only
imagine that they had ‘high’ expectations of what I would make of myself. I have a
vivid memory that has been etched into my mind and I can remember it as if it
happened yesterday. I was probably in grade prep at the time and was at a family
gathering with my all my cousins. Parents being typical parents and comparing
their kids, my uncle interrogated me and asked me in front of all my relatives, “So
16
what are you going to be when your older?”. I confidently answered, model or
designer. My dad gave me a serious look from across the room and stated,
“Wrong, doctor or nothing”. In saying this I advise that you decide to study, do it
for yourself and not to satisfy expectations because you will not get far and you
will end up wasting your time.
I am now in the process of getting admitted as a lawyer in Victoria. I can
confidently say I am glad that I endured all those years and I feel accomplished.
However, studying isn’t for everyone, stay true to yourself and know where you
want to be in 20 years’ time. Envision it, if studying is necessary; good luck and
god speed. It will be worth it in the end, just don’t give up.
As claimed by Gates (2012) While time spent at college is a fond memory
and a happy experience for most, the student life is not without its rough patches.
Everyone's situation is unique, but there are a few problems that almost all college
students deal with at least once during their time at school. If you are on your way
to college, get a jump on how to deal with the challenges that may come your way.
College is academically challenging. For many, college courses require much more
effort than high school classes did. Unlike most high schools, colleges often pack
two years of content into one year. Many students take a full 15 credit semester,
while others try to cram in up to 18 or even 21 credits. At times, it seems
impossibe to stay on top of it all.
17
Tuition costs are rising at alarmingly high rates. Add to that the cost of housing,
meals, supplies, transportation, and textbooks, and you have a recipe for
unmanageable debt. Most financial advisors recommend borrowing no more than
one expects to earn their first year out of college. However, soaring tuition costs
make this rule difficult to follow. According to an article in U.S. News, almost half
of today's students say that the cost is making them reconsider finishing their
degree. Students are increasingly dropping out of college because they cannot
afford the expense. Others are forced to juggle full academic schedules with full-
time jobs to make ends meet. Graduating debt-free is almost unheard of.
Every problem on this list can raise a student's stress level and contribute to
emotional lows. Some find temporary relief in partying which, in excess and in the
long run, may contribute to depression. If stress and depression are an issue, seek
professional support. Many campuses have free counseling programs for students.
Counselors are trained to listen and help students get back on track. To afford the
high price of college tuition, many students must get jobs. Juggling a job, 15 to 18
credits, relationships, and extracurricular activities is extremely difficult. Many
students try to cram all of these activities into one day and do not get enough sleep.
Without proper rest, students are vulnerable to physical and mental health
problems.
Whether they admit it or not, most students will at one point get homesick,
especially those who attend a school that is more than three hours away from
18
home. Freshmen suffer more, as it is presumably their first year away from home.
If you live within three or four hours from home (a comfortable day's drive), plan
to visit home once every month or two. Ask friends and family to email, call, and
send care packages. These steps should greatly assist in reducing feelings of
homesickness.
According to Educate Nigeria (2017) There are many challenges that are
facing the education sector in Africa and have been facing for quite some time
now. These challenges affect the students’ educational learning and understanding
in big way. The major reasons for the many challenges faced by secondary school
students in Africa are due to corruption and selfishness. Politicians would rather
embezzle the funds that are allocated for the purpose of developing secondary
schools instead of investing in the schools. Most European countries invest in
schools, but Africa is not willing to learn. This article seeks to highlight the major
challenges faced by secondary school students.
A vast majority of most private secondary schools in Africa are only after profit
and not on the knowledge that should be impacted on the students. This is one of
the major challenges with the education sector in Africa. The private school
owners of most private secondary schools employ unqualified teachers who lack
the expertise on teaching profession to teach students. This is one of the many
reasons why many students end up performing poorly and also one of the root
19
causes of examination malpractices. When it comes to the level of poor
infrastructure, there is no debate that African secondary school students make use
of poor infrastructural structure during their studies. This includes the use of
poorly built schools, which in turn negatively affects their level of understanding.
An example could be, students learning in a class which has little or no roofing; it
if happens to rain, what could possibly happen to the students and the teacher
teaching them at that particular time? The only result is that either the lesson ends
immediately or the students are dismissed for the day.
Another challenge facing secondary school students in Africa is the inadequate
payment of teachers. Teachers being inadequately paid, leads to nationwide
teachers’ strikes. This negatively affects students, especially those in their final
year. Teachers boycott classes up until a decision is made by the government at the
various teachers’ unions. In the mean time, students end up missing on a lot of
learning which could later affect them at the end of the term, or during their final
examinations, for those in their final year. Paying the teachers good and adequate
salaries will make the qualified educated Africans develop an interest in teaching.;
and in the long run students will find education rather interesting than stressful.
Most governments in Africa do not have monitoring teams. Every government
should at least ensure they appoint or elect monitoring teams. These teams help the
government by visiting various secondary schools and closely examining the
quality of teachers, infrastructural level, and other key areas that need to examine
20
in secondary schools. If this is effectively implemented, secondary schools will
reduce the number unqualified teachers, and ensure that students get the best form
of quality education that can be. It is no secret that computers are now taking the
center stage of learning in the whole world. However, one of the major challenges
students face is the non-availability of computer instructors. Despite the fact that
computers have been installed, the million dollar question is who will ensure the
students learn the computer skills? Employing good instructors that are well paid
will help the students to acquire the necessary skills needed in computer.
According to Target Study (N.D) Students all over the world face a
number of problems which dishearten them. It leads to sheer desperation among
the student community giving rise to student unrest. Student life has probably
become more difficult than at any time before. There are so many issues they have
to deal with study, time, money, relarionship, job hopes, and more. Parents
previous experience and education do not always equip them in dealing with such
pressures. Many students will not admit their problems due to various reasons and
this affects their Future Prospects. And over a period of time, these can badly
hamper a students psyche. Usually, students face general symptoms of emotional
imbalances as part of growing up as adolescents and these become more
pronounced because of the hectic student life. All such negativeness can be
effectively controlled with the aid of participation right from the parents to
21
Education Ministers. Certain schools favour their own particular community unfair
advantage is given which also creates a negative mentality for the victim. Another
major problem is competition students are afraid of failing. They are afraid of
letting their parents and family down. Those who are studying at school know very
well that the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam
time so bad that they become ill, both mentally and/or physically. Sex is powerful
and it can be dangerous if it does not run in the correct channels, and if safely
procedures are not used. Many of the problems about sex come because of
ignorance. Students do not understand the purpose of sex, and how it should be
used. The effects of internet pornography,magazines,films,Tv,books and
advertisements have created a wrong picture of sex. Young people are under great
pressure to have sex experience before they are ready for it. New-admits or
transferred students think about how they will handle the school environment with
other students and teachers. They are more concerned with such issues instead of
studying which hampers their performance. Today's students are burdened with
loads to study. Study curriculum has become more extensive and complex than
ever before. They not only carry ever icreasing the weight of study material on
their shoulders but they also carry the burden of intensive study even after they
have left the classroom. Some students come from weaker sections of the society
and financial situation in their house is not good enough. If a student is not
financial equipped, it may obstruct his/her study especially if hunger is craving
22
their stomach. Perhaps one of the hardest things in life is coping with illness and
pain. In some ways, it can be even harder when a student has to look after a loved
one who is ill, than with our own illness.
According to Biliran (2018) As we all know, there are four academic
strands namely, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics),
ABM (Accountancy, Business, and Management), HUMSS (Humanities and
Social Sciences), and GAS (General Academic Strand). It is important to
remember that no strand is above the other and one should not look down on a
certain strand because it seems easy. Students of each strand face different
challenges and it’s up to them to be prepared to face these challenges.
The STEM strand, as its name suggests, is science- and math-heavy. This means
that students who take this strand must be adept in computing numbers,
memorizing terms and formulas, and analyzing and solving problems. One of the
challenges faced by students under this strand is the heavy load of specialized
subjects like Physics, Calculus, and Earth Science. Students are also expected to
conduct research and experiments to test if they can apply the theories they learned
in class discussions. One must be an analytical and critical thinker if they want to
succeed under the STEM strand.
Students under the HUMSS strand are expected to have communication and
interpersonal skills. One of the challenges faced by students under this strand is the
23
reading and writing requirements they have to finish. Teachers will give tons of
reading materials, writing and research topics, and other assignments that may
include a creative output like poems, paintings, and speeches. These activities
require analytical, creative, and communication skills.
GAS is perfect for students who are still unsure about what they will take in
college. Because GAS students are required to pick electives from other academic
strands, they are expected to be skilled in different subjects. Usually these students
must be a “jack of all trades” type of individual or simply those who can do
virtually everything. This means that they should possess the strengths of the
STEM, HUMSS, and ABM students in their respective areas of expertise.
Academic Strands have its own set of challenges. So it is best to pick the one that
fits your strengths the most. Remember that there is no superior or inferior
academic strand. Such hierarchies are not needed in a learning environment. You
should just focus on the strand you chose and do your best to excel in it!

III. METHODOLOGY
Descriptive methods have been decided by researchers to gather more
information on exploration regarding the problems faced by grade 12 students in
the General Academic Strand (GAS) of Muntinlupa National High School Main.
And to make it easier to gain knowledge of what can be a way to resolve it, and for
what reason their learning affects. Using the descriptive method, researchers took
the information in grade 12 of the General Academic Strand of Muntinlupa
National High School Main.
A. Research Design
Research design is based on quantitative research method, research to
facilitate the computation or counting of data. In quantitative research, data is
extracted through instruments because its factor will make use of the scan
number.
B. Sampling Method
The researchers used a convenient sampling for this study. Due to
unforeseen circumstances so convenient sampling is the preferred method of
researchers to make it easier to obtain the respondent's requirement in this study to
students of the General Academic Strand. And because of this method researchers
have taken away the data, and it is justified and fits in the requirements for the
research done by researchers.
25
C. Instrumentation
Using a questionnaire or survey is a way for researchers to gather
information and data from respected respondents. This questionnaire contains
questions based on the purpose and problem of research paper where respondents
are required to answer questions using the check box in the box next to the answer
options.
D. Data Gathering
Using the survey presented by researchers. The researchers have 70
respondents who are students of the General Academic Strand who can answer the
questions presented on the paper. Before starting collecting data, researchers
formally explained what their purpose is.
E. Data Analysis
After seventy (70) respondents answered the questionnaire the data
gathered was analyzed by the researchers, their responses were isolated on a
separate piece of paper, the results obtained would have the formula to show the
percentage of the The answer is 70 respondents.
