Students in geographically remote and economically disadvantaged provinces in the Philippines often face barriers to performing well in college entrance exams, particularly in science. Many enter senior high school with gaps in foundational knowledge, partly due to limited access to sustained, content-focused professional development for teachers. When teachers struggle with core scientific concepts, it can be challenging to strengthen students’ understanding and problem-solving skills.
