Abstract

This study evaluated into how the Indigenous Peoples' Education (IPEd) Program was used in several SOCSARGEN-affiliated schools in General Santos City, Sarangani Province, and South Cotabato. The study utilized quantitative methodologies and a descriptive-correlational research approach to find out how widely the IPEd program has been implemented and whether it is linked to government policies, school practices, and overall performance. Many people in the neighborhood use the IPEd program, which demonstrates that they are highly committed to teaching everyone in a way that respects their culture, as the results reveal. Schools that are known for having good operating processes usually educate indigenous methods of knowing and doing things. Still, they said that things like making plans and working together with other agencies need to become better. It is also crucial to note that the research did not find a link between IPEd's efficacy and academic success. This shows that implementation doesn't have much of an influence on performance, even when it goes well. The study recommends that planning based on data should be better, school leaders should have more training, and people should be able to provide feedback on a regular basis.
