This data shows the total number of students per educational level with a total of 2,686 enrolled students both in public and private schools PK would like to focus on these grade levels but those belonging to public schools only as they are the ones who needed more help in continuing their education during pandemic times Thus making Bay Central Elementary School (BCES) and Nicolas Galvez Memorial Integrated Highschool (NLGMINHS) students its targeted beneficiaries

With this number of students, PK wants to help all but most especially those belonging to families who are negatively affected by the pandemic vis-a-vis the new modalities of learning during the times of a pandemic Out of 2,686 total age groups of students belonging to elementary and high school public institutions, only 1,117 or 41 59% answered the survey and are currently enrolled in public elementary and high school institutions for SY 2020-2021

Barangay Dila houses the premier elementary school in the municipality - Bay Central Elementary School (BCES) - and it’s the only elementary school existing and operating in the barangay. Out of the 1,360 in-school target beneficiaries for elementary level [1], 875 students or 64 34% of the population actually enrolled for the present school year

Meanwhile, Nicolas L Galvez Memorial Integrated National High School (NLGMINHS) is one of the public higher education schools in the municipality of Bay From Table 1, out of the 1,345 age group for high school, 399 or 29.67% were currently enrolled.

These data of the actual enrolled students can determine the quantity of the educational kits distribution activity as one of the key projects of PK program.

Elementary and high school students from public schools were the chosen target beneficiaries as these levels are fundamental to the collegiate level of education in furthering and deepening learning While other Barangay Dila students enter private schools with their own finances or through scholarships, the indigents enter public schools Entering a public school could also mean the student and their families are financially challenged or facing economic troubles that may sacrifice learning for the sake of having food for the table -- thus PK choosing public school as the partner beneficiary institution.
