Utilization of Monitoring and Evaluation (M and E) Tools on the Implementing Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPA’S) of Tabaco City Division

This study examined the utilization of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) tools in implementing Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) along literacy and numeracy in Tabaco City elementary schools during school year 2022–2023. Using a descriptive survey method, data were gathered from 200 program coordinators across 40 schools. Findings revealed that M&E tools were consistently applied across pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation phases, though varying in intensity. Their utilization contributed to improved literacy and numeracy outcomes by ensuring accountability, systematic feedback, and evidence-based adjustments. Challenges included limited comprehensiveness of tools, resource constraints, and inconsistencies in application. The study proposed an implementation plan to strengthen monitoring practices, enhance technical assistance, and align interventions with learner needs. Results underscore the importance of M&E tools in sustaining educational reforms and improving student competencies.
