CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The general legal principles that concern safety in schools and requirement

with which schools should comply. Safety of learners both physical and psychological

is researched as a phenomenon that cannot be ensured properly without effective

management and planning. The subjects are principals in rural public primary schools

in Palawan National School Province. School safety is best described by what a safe

School is. As alluded to earlier a safe school is a school that is physically and psycho-

socially safe. Regarding the schools physical environment, that is conducive to

education and has security of property well-cared for facilities, furniture and

equipment, clean toilets, water and green environment and absence of harassment

Squelch (2001)

The safety of school campus and buildings, according to Schiff Bauer (2000)

includes; ensuring that buildings are safe for use in that attention is given to hallways,

stairways and veranda, where learners walk to and from classes, and other areas at the

school, unused classroom and buildings use for storage, electrical Fittings and other

service amenities, like plumbing, pipes, fencing, lighting and sports field

Studies indicate a general rule that as school neighborhoods become more and

more violent, schools are also directly or indirectly affected. Creating safe schools

involve designing various safety awareness programed and strategies as well as

mobilizing school support networks. Principals ought to have a knowledge and

understanding of relevant legislation and also have the skills.to implement legislations

policies.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the implementation of school safety procedures

of Security personnel in Palawan National School at Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.

1. What is the demographic profile of students in Palawan National School in terms

of:

a) Age;

b) Gender;

c) Civil Status; and

d) Course/Year Level?

2. What is the demographic profile of the Security personnel’s in Palawan National

School in terms of:

a) Age;

b) Gender;

c) Civil Status; and

d) Length of Service?

3. What is the demographic profile of Teacher/ Faculty in terms of:

a) Age;

b) Gender;

c) Civil Status;

d) Position; and

e) Length of Service?
 3

4. What is the safety procedure implemented by security personnel as rated by

students, teachers/faculty and security personnel?

5. Is there a significant difference between the demographic profiles of the

respondents in school safety procedures implemented by security personnel in

Palawan National School, Puerto Princesa City Palawan, compared to other schools?

Significance of the Study

This study aims to improve and systematically plan the safety of all people

inside the campus. This study helps to determine the implementation of school safety

procedures of security personnel in Palawan National School at Puerto Princesa City,

Palawan.

To the community, the result of this study may serve as guidelines and

warning that they should respect the rules and laws of school to prevent

misunderstanding between the school administration and the community entering in

the School vicinity.

To the local government of Puerto Princesa City and PNP, this study will help

them create an ordinance for student safety through police visibility near the campus

to respond to any emergency.

To the Palawan National High School administration, this study will give them

information for them to improve and develop more competent security system. And

through class discussion of teachers they can influence their student to simply obey,

follow and respect the rules and regulations of the school.

For the student and researchers, this study will help them to elaborate the weak

point of school security system in order for them to strengthen and improve it.

Finally for the future researcher, this study will give them basis and
 4

information of continuing similar kind of research in the future.

Hypothesis of the Study

There is no significance difference in the observation of the respondent in the

implementation of school safety procedure implemented by security personnel in

Palawan National School (PNS) Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This study was conducted at Palawan National School (PNS) in Puerto

Princesa City, Palawan. It focused on the Implementation of school safety procedure

of Security Personnel in Palawan National School (PNS) with the total respondents of

7,148. The researchers were personally distribute the survey questionnaire to their

respondents. This was conducted from January 23, 2017 to January 26, 2017.

The focus of this study was statistically evaluated by an expert

statistician/professor at Western Philippines University Puerto Princesa City.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents the related literature that was carefully searched by the

researcher to gain information about Implementation of School Safety Procedures of

Security Personnel in Palawan National School (PNS) Puerto Princesa City and to

obtain important details necessary for this study.

There have also been specific studies on this topic related to urban and

transportation geography. Most of the literature relevant to this topic is in the form of

scholarly studies, which include both quantitative and qualitative data. Other relevant

literature for this topic includes campus crime statistics and related news articles. The

main themes evident among the literature include: Safety implementation of security

personnel relating to physical structures (including lighting, building and

landscaping), perceptions of safety relating to specific types of incidents (including

sexual assaults, harassment, physical violence and abuse, theft), precautions taken by

students relating to safety, and issues with campus security services and

administration.

Speaking to implementation of school safety procedures of security personnel

relating to physical structures, according to Fletcher and Bryden (2007) cite lighting

and signage on campus, and the availability of emergency phones as the top three

physical safety features of concern are invariably related to one another, it is

important to consider both the campus physical and social environment when

studying campus safety.

Currie (1994) explain that target hardening strategies, which reduce

opportunities for crimes to occur, such as better lighting, become the primary means

of alleviating concerns if only the physical environment of a campus is considered.

 6

Pain (2000, 370) even argues that the social environment operating within particular

spaces is more important to perceptions of safety and fear of crime than the physical

environment. In any case, it is necessary to consider both the social and physical

environment of a campus in order to completely address concerns for campus safety.

Many studies report that most students, especially women, take some type of safety

precaution to protect themselves in campus. These include avoidance strategies (not

walking at night other students, carrying an object which could be used as a weapon

or carrying a weapon (Currie 1994, 33), also found that men and women use safety

precautions differently. Men are much more likely to carry a weapon than women

while woman are much more likely to use avoidance strategies, Overall, men were

much more likely than woman to use no safety precautions at all.

Bohmer and Parrot (1993), delve deeper into the issue of why victims of

sexual assault on school campuses rarely report incidents to the authorities. These

victims often believe that they are at fault, either because alcohol was involved of

because they voluntarily went out with the perpetrator. Other victims do not report

sexual assaults because they believe that the school does not take these incidents

seriously, or are handle such incidents.

According to Enrico L. de Guzman (2013) mentioned that the recent stabbing

and shooting incidents, including hazing and bullying, that occurred inside school

premises in different parts of the country have put the spot on security campus.

Likewise, the resurgence of illegal drugs has not spared schools. These alarming

events have pushed school to submit their security system under a deeper and

thorough scrutiny to avoid criticism from public and private stakeholders. He had the

chance to deliver talks on school security in some campuses, most of these with the

primary, secondary and college department. He found out that these department share
 7

common security problems. The most prevalent incidents are student fights, hazing

vandalism, absenteeism and theft. He assumed that drug-related cases are also among

the problems but some schools refuse to report or admit it. Hazing was also

mentioned but this usually occur outside the campus schools are very much different

from other public institutions in terms of control. Management over the campus

environment is mainly placed on the shoulders of the school administrators. School

administrators dictate the access policies to the campus. They formulated and

schedule classes and have the power to require all the students to be present during

school hours. The school administrators also dictate the level of supervision over the

campuses as they have the authority to implement or to establish strict rules of

conduct behavior. They can also implement policies such as a bag inspection, locker

searches and the use of metal detectors, if necessary. At a more practical level, school

security is negatively affected when administrators are inconsistent in enforcing

school rules and regulation. For example, when the bell rings for the first period in the

morning, students and teachers are required to be inside the classroom for their

lessons. It becomes easy for the school to determine the non-students. If a student opts

to be absent or performs any action in violation of existing school policy on conduct

and behavior, the school must apply the prescribed penalty, with respect to the

principle of justice, fairness and respect for the rights of all other students. Students

especially in the primary and secondary levels deal with their own problems such as

depression. Some are mischievous and commit violent act. It is a common observation

that when children enter their teens, they become more hyperactive or more

aggressive. Some teachers are afraid of these students. Administrators and teachers

need to be patient and generous to understand such students. In addition to these

problems, some schools lack of budget to deal with such problems.

Respondent’s observation in School Safety Procedures Implemented in Palawan

National High School.

The difference between the level of perception on the implementation of

school safety procedures by student, teachers and security personnel were analyzed

using Pearson correlation. The result of analysis is shown in table 2.2 that the mean

perception for student is 4.0 (Moderately Implemented) Teacher is 3.67 (Moderately

implemented) and Security Personnel is 2.78 (Fairly implemented). The grand mean

of 3.48 described as fairly implemented. It implies that the school safety procedures

was not always followed.
