EXTENT OF COMPLIANCE OF ARCHDIOCESAN SCHOOLS TO PEAC RECERTIFICATION: BASIS FOR INTERVENTION PLAN

This study was conducted to evaluate the level of compliance of TASS North Cluster Schools in the PEAC Recertification SY 2022–2023. It sought to analyze the Gap Analysis through comparing the Researcher’s Evaluation and the PEAC Evaluation through the Standards and to suggest an intervention plan for upcoming recertification cycles. Utilizing comparative research design, a Checklist of Compliance adopted in PEAC CAI 2018 was used along with forty purposively selected school administrative personnels and faculty members from four TASS schools. Data were analyzed using documentary analysis, calculating means with weights, and gap analysis. Findings showed full compliance only under School Budget and Finances, while most Core and Support Areas still were at partial compliance. The findings suggested that while foundational structures existed, systematic process monitoring and cross domain alignment were inadequate even for the Adaptation Workshop areas reflecting a need for top-down attention to strategic improvement of structures. The main recommendation was to adopt a structured Catch-Up or Intervention Plan in response to the identified gaps, ensure institutional readiness and improve sustained compliance with PEAC standards.
