This study aimed to compare and analyze the curriculum exit path of first to fourth batches of SHS graduates in Schools Division Office of Isabela and tried to come up with an input to localized policy guidelines and monitoring tool on senior high school program. Data gathered and limited only to the SHS Tracking System of SDO Isabela.
Based from the result, most of the Senior High School graduates in Schools Division Office of Isabela went to college: 92.23% (2021), 91.79% (2020), 89.20(2019) and 88.33% (2018) followed by employment, middle-level skills and entrepreneurship.
As to alignment, most of the respondents who took their college from Batches 1 to 4 was aligned with their strand with a percentage ranges from 73 to 84, thus, the 27% to 30% was not aligned while most of who applied for a job had no alignment to their strand.
For the implications of curriculum exit to the existing program offerings, it was revealed that most of the SHS graduates in SDO Isabela had a related course in college except in GAS strand especially in Legislative District 2 and Arts and Design Track wherein most of them took in college with no alignment while TVL Track has a close percentage between aligned and not aligned. However, those who employed had a work not related in their strand. This is congruent to the report of Sec. Sara Duterte (2023) that SHS curriculum is effective and work in progress.
However, the reasons why some of the Senior High School Graduates did not proceed in college was due to Financial Problem, Early pregnancy and Death.
