internal and external stakeholders. School has an obligation towards the law of the land.
Compliance is to follow these established defined statutory procedures and practices.
Educational policies are rules that are intended to help schools teach students efficiently, fairly
and safely as per the regulatory norms, and the Board to which the Institution is affiliated. These
terms determine how students are taught, what they are taught, how schools manage students and
its personnel. Students, teachers and staff members deserve to feel physically and
psychologically secure in their environment. Policies influence how safe individuals are in
school. In order to create this environment, guidelines need to be developed and reinstated that
establish safety standards for the physical environment and mental state of students and staff.
Disciplined rules have an effect on the safety of students and staff at school level, therefore,
procedures should extend beyond the classroom, frequency of fire drills, anti-bullying, and how
staff should respond during a medical emergency. Students and teachers are the major customers
of all the policies in a school. Management should establish standard rules to guide acceptable
behavior, and help create a conducive learning environment. All of these are necessary to help
the institution run smoothly to ensure that students receive a quality education. In order for an
institution to encourage higher learning, plans must be in place that establish goals as set forth by
the school management. This is important for relating education to the community and making it
responsible to the larger world. Accountability through the use of goal-oriented policies ensures
productivity – thus save time, prevent confusion and unify the school. Although the law strictly
disapproves it, the school should be very careful in determining when a student should be
suspended or expelled, because it can impact a child’s future. Although it is common to expel
students for excessive violations of school rules, this is not always a good option for dealing with
behavior problems. When a child is expelled, he may lose his desire to continue attending
traditional institution and quit. Suspension policies can inadvertently discourage students from
attending school, leading to a lifetime of low-paying jobs or dependency of others. For this
reason, it is important to have policies that incorporate other solutions before resorting to
suspension and expulsion. Equality in the schools is again determined by it’s policies. School
must have guidelines requiring acts of discrimination to be reported to their administrators and to
be remedied promptly. There are also rules in place to make sure that children with disabilities,
or slow-learners, receive the same access to an education as other students. This ensures that
everyone gets the opportunity to contribute to society and thrive economically. Another
important thing is that policies on teacher training and engagement should focus more on the
professional continuum of teachers. Teacher engagement is the key element for teacher retention,
including teacher interventions, and their continuous professional development all over their
career – they are a whole and they are interconnected. A proper workplace policy also aims to
guide teaching and non-teaching staff in how to perform in the school for various prohibited
issues in – harassment, internet use, health and safety, and social media are just a few. Last but
not the least, collaboration between all the stakeholders should be much larger. It is extremely
important that everyone is involved in the policy-making, that each stakeholder has his/her role,
and should be able to take that role into the process. Schools should have well-documented and
comprehensive policies and standard-operating-procedures for all the internal and external stake
holders.
Statement of the problem
This study seeks to investigate the factors influencing on the compliance of grade 10 students on
school policy Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
3.) What will be the problem if students didn’t follow the school policy?
Student
•The result of this reseach will benefit the students to get knowledge of why it’s important to
follow the school policy
Teacher’s
•The result of this research will benefit the teacher’s to know why some of the students don’t
follow the school policy
This study wants to know the factors influencing on the compliance of grade 10 students on
school policy. The researcher will use simple random sampling in choosing their respondents.
Definition of Terms
A student is a person who goes to school to learn something. Students can be children, teenagers,
or adults who are going to school, but it may also be other people who are learning, such as in
college or university. A younger student is often called a pupil. Usually, students will learn from
