POVERTY TRENDS AND EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES
Description
This development uses a descriptive-correlational design to examine secondary data. It systematically examines existing data from officials to describe trends in poverty and educational attainment as well as the relationship between the two variables. The design allows the researcher to interpret patterns and associations using secondary datasets without manipulating the variables, making it suitable for examining a broad range of socioeconomic and educational indicators.

The data for this study were obtained through a secondary data analysis approach using publicly available and officially published reports from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Department of Education (DepEd), World Bank, and UNICEF. The researcher identified relevant datasets focusing on poverty incidence, household income levels, school participation rates, and educational attainment indicators covering the period 2015–2025. Data collection involved systematic retrieval of statistical tables, policy reports, and education-related publications from official websites and databases. The selected data were screened based on relevance to poverty and education variables, then organized into spreadsheets for coding, tabulation, and comparison. Descriptive statistical techniques, including percentage analysis, trend analysis, and correlation interpretation, were applied using spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel to identify patterns and relationships. No primary data collection instruments, laboratory procedures, or experimental materials were used, as the study relied entirely on verified secondary datasets and published reports.
