Title: A Five Year Development Plan on the Problems Connected to the Size of the School

II. Rationale:

With the population of more than 300 students and a total area of 500 square meter, Asian Institute of Computer Studies main problem is the

conduciveness to learning as well as its location.

It is true, however, that teachers establish learning environment wherein students feel physically, psychologically, socially and culturally secure but

the absence of strategically located learning institution defies the very essence and purpose of education.

AICS Olongapo is the newest addition among its 12 branches. The first problem that the institution encounters is the strategic location of its

operation in Olongapo City. The city being known to its rapid growth is crowded with emigrants from nearby cities and at the same time, with local and

international business causing AICS to land a small area. Another thing that contributes to the unfortunate acquisition of the place is the price rental. The

city sets one of the highest rentals in the Philippines due to its high economic status.

It is important to have a classroom that is usually respectful. Students need to understand when they need to be quiet and when they need to

collaborate with others. They need to know that some students have different learning styles and need to be respectful towards them, but how will these

differences be properly tackled if the main problem takes almost 80% of the totality of the main concern.

Students cannot fully concentrate on their performance knowing that senior high school or K to 12 program focuses more on individual performances

due to over-crowding in the working area as well as in the classrooms themselves. In addition, they also cannot perform properly on subjects like

Physical Education, where they are required to dance or do some tasks; and communications wherein they are required to deliver speeches, etc. In this

case, one problem causes another and they become interrelated with each other.

To address the problem, the main office is looking forward to find a better location to cater culturally diverse students.
