II. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

Financial difficulty means current or impending financial conditions that impair or may
impair the ability of a provider to meet existing or future obligations. It can also be a situation
where money worries are causing you stress. Many people are facing hard financial times and the
impact on mental health can be significant. These problems can seem impossible to overcome,
but you can get help and take steps to improve your situation.

If we associated financial difficulties with the students, that would pertain to the students
who are financially problematic and if the majority of the students are more focused on their
issues financially rather than their studies that would be a big problem.

Financial difficulties might be one of the major concerns of the students for many
different reasons; having no allowance is a great problem because that is what students need to
sustain at school. They need their allowance for their food, fare, projects and their other
necessities that they would need to school. Financial difficulty is not concerning only the
students but most especially the parents.

If the students can't comply with his need while studying that might affect his studies
negatively. A student can't focus on his studies if he is worried about something else. Students
with financial difficulties will not just sit there and do nothing; they tend to do things that would
aid them in their problem, for example, resorting to applying for part-time jobs and selling some
of their valuables. Not only can financial difficulties affect students in their studies but it can also
affect their health and relationship with others and that includes worrying a lot or feeling anxious
over money, arguing with loved ones over money, headaches, feeling unwell, difficulty sleeping,
etc.

Presuming that students will carry this problem while studying college it would trouble
them a lot because many students accumulate debt before they realize what's happening, and it
may be difficult to start digging your way out of debt once you graduate. According to the
Institute for College Access & Success, debt levels for students pursuing a degree in 2016 ranged
from a low of $4,600 (Php 232,668) to a high of $59,100 (Php 2,989,278). That debt can lead to
financial problems that follow students for years–even decades–after graduation.

The population of persons of school-going age who were not in school dropped to 3.6
million in 2017 from 3.8 million a year earlier, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said.
The survey of out-of-school children and youth (OSCY) determined that the population in 2017
represents 9.1% of the 39.2 million Filipinos aged 6 to 24 years old, according to the PSA’s 2017
Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS). In 2016, the equivalent percentage was 9.8%. The
PSA defines the OSCY category as those in the 6-14 age groups who are not receiving formal
schooling, and those in the 15-24 bracket who are currently out of school, have not completed
post-secondary education and are not gainfully employed. By age group, 83.1% of the 3.6
million OSCYs were 16-24 years old; 11.2% were 12-15, and 5.7% were 6-11. The proportion of
OSCYs was higher among females (63.3%) than males (36.7%). The most common reasons cited
for not attending school were marriage or family matters (37%); lack of personal interest
(24.7%); and high cost of education or financial concerns (17.9%). The PSA said around 50% of
OSCYs belong to families whose incomes were in the bottom 30% on a per capita basis.

No one can escape from the ferocity of financial difficulty, including the student from
Saint Louis College, we can see the effects of the financial difficulties whenever there are
accounts that need to be settled for examination, collecting money for the photocopy and class
funds, death aids, for the projects and performance tasks and other matters that need to be paid
that sometimes there's nothing left for them.

Since the government are the parens patriae, they need to take good care and love every
Filipinos and they didn’t fail when the President Duterte signed the Educational Service
Contracting (ESC) a program provided for by Republic Act 8545, or the “Expanded Government
Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education, or GASTPE. Its main objective is to
decongest public secondary schools by “contracting” the excess capacities of private high
schools through the provision of subsidies for students who, otherwise, would have gone to the
public high schools. The ESC aided the students’ tuition fee to be lessened, in Saint Louis
College, the students of junior high school department gets lessened by Php 8,000.

The school, Saint Louis College, would like to lend a helping hand to the students who
are worrying about their financial problems by providing them the allowance that they would
need for their necessities in school, for example, their snacks and lunch, their fare, and for the
materials that they need. The junior high school department is composed of 1, 375 students and
the Central Student Council would collect a total of five pesos from every student for the fund of
the council; the three pesos will go to the other projects of the council and the remaining 2 pesos
will be collected for the allowance for the students that would inquire for our project, 2 COOL
FOR SCHOOL. For the whole week of school we would accumulate Php 2,750 for the
allowance of 5 scholars and each scholar would receive Php 550 each.

Saint Louis College doesn’t only focus on the students' academic development; they aim
to the holistic growth of the children who are under their care. They wanted the students to
acquire the core values of the school that will serve as a guide for them not only to be good but a
better person and that is why it is known to be the best school to provide a standard education in
the province of La Union.

The Central Student Council would like to commence 2 COOL FOR SCHOOL for the
main reason to aid the students in their financial problems to help them cope and focus to their
studies to be able to showcase their talents and be able to give their best especially in the
academic field. The project would also teach the students the meaning of bayanihan and the
beauty of sharing.
